Mac Forum / Applications / Word / February 2006Lost Format>Document option
I need to access the Format>Document menu option (to change line numbering), but it's disappeared. The only options are Font and Paragraph. Does anyone know where Document went? Thanks, Conlan Never mind. I got it back by resetting the tool bar, as suggested in a previous thread. But does anyone know how it could have disappeared in the first place? > Never mind.

There has recently been a rash of this being discussed here. I put it down to Word flu. Maybe there is a secret default keystroke combo waiting for us hapless noobs to mistype? I lost one menu item a while ago, and I'm sure I did nothing to provoke it, but then I'm always mucking about trying to remember what daft combo I assigned to an even dafter macro I'd almost forgotten about.

Hit that, and the next menu item you choose will be deleted! It's the "Remove item from menu" command...

SignaturePlease reply to the newsgroup to maintain the thread. Please do not email me unless I ask you to. John McGhie <john@mcghie.name> Microsoft MVP, Word and Word for Macintosh. Consultant Technical Writer Sydney, Australia +61 (0) 4 1209 1410 Problem is: In OS 10.3 onwards, you'll also find that this keyboard shortcut doesn¹t work. Go to System Preferences => Keyboard and mouse => Keyboard shortcuts => Universal Access => de-select the Zoom Out tickbox (or if you want to have a keyboard shortcut for that command, assign another combination for Zoom Out). For work-arounds for other well-used Office keyboard shortcuts recently h*jacked by OSX, see pages 21, 104 and 105 of some notes on the way I use Word for the Mac, titled "Bend Word to Your Will", which are available as a free download from the Word MVPs' website (http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/Bend/BendWord.htm). [Note: "Bend Word to your will" is designed to be used electronically and most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.] Cheers, Clive Huggan ============ On 7/2/06 2:23 PM, in article C00E5DCC.2BDFD%john@mcghie.name, "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macintosh]" <john@mcghie.name> wrote: > The lurking keystroke is Command + Option + minus. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> it, but then I'm always mucking about trying to remember what daft >> combo I assigned to an even dafter macro I'd almost forgotten about. Command + Option + minus is the command to remove an item from the *Work* menu, not from *any* menu.

It works for any menu. The next thing you click on is gone. I think the official name is actually ToolsCustomizeRemoveMenuShortcut. > Command + Option + minus is the command to remove an item from the *Work* > menu, not from *any* menu.

Scroll down to "how you lost it" on this page, if interested: http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/LostSymbol.htm I've not actually double-checked to ensure MacWord works the same way, but I would expect it to. > Well, THAT'S a pain in the butt!
