Cursor

[Chrisana]

When using my keyboard shortcut keys in a Word document, I accidently pressed
ALT+CTRL+Hyphen and this resulted in my cursor changing to a short thick
black line. Repeating the action did not change it back to my normal cursor.
The only way to get rid of it was to Exit from the document. How can I
change this shortcut key so that it doesn't happen again?

O/S is Windows Vista

Office Small Business Edition 2003

The keystroke triggers the command for removing an item from a menu. It can
be cancelled by pressing the ESC key or you can go to Tools> Customize &
either assign a different [less common] keystroke or delete the keyboard
shortcut altogether for the command: ToolsCustomizeRemoveMenuShortcut
