MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When recording or defining a macro, Word will not accept the CTRL+A key combination in the Macro Keys field (Word will beep if Mute is not selected in Utilities Customize).

The CTRL+A key combination is reserved as the key combination used to precede a speed formatting key that has been redefined by a macro key.

Example:

If a macro is defined with a macro key of CTRL+U, the underline speed formatting key can only be accessed by pressing and holding CTRL+A and then pressing “U”.

Keys Function —- ——–

CTRL+U Runs the defined macro CTRL+A+U Applies underline formatting to selected text
