SUMMARY
Microsoft Word ships with templates designed for exclusive use with WordMail. Each WordMail template contains shortcut-key assignments that have been reassigned to perform different functions from their comparative default behavior in Word.
The following is a list of shortcut-key assignments that are reassigned to work with your e-mail editor and their comparative assignments in Word 2000.
The default action for the shortcut key within Word is listed under the "Word Template, Normal.dot" column as a comparison to the action that occurs in Microsoft Outlook 2000 using WordMail with one of the provided WordMail templates.
