shortcut keystroke back to beginning of line and top of page

[Irene]

Using new Windows XP-pro - Old system in Word, I could use the home key to
go back to the beginning of a line and Ctrl+home keys to go back to beginning
of document. Been searching Help files and found Customize your keyboard,
but what I am doing to customize those keystrokes to what they were before,
is not working.
Any suggestions?

Irene,

I'm not sure what is wrong with your Office, but even in 2003 this should
still be default.

Do you have a special keyboard with hot-buttons that may have special
settings overriding the default? Did your Office kick out any errors on
install/upgrade?

Go to Tools|Options and select the Save tab. Check the box "Prompt to save
the Normal template". When you make changes to the Normal template (the
Normal.dot), you will be prompted to save these changes. This prevents any
changes you make in Word to keep, like default page settings, macros, default
fonts, etc.

Go to Tools|Customize and select the Commands tab. Select the Keyboard
button. Associate the Home key with the StartOfLine command. Make sure you
are applying this to the Normal.dot global template and not the current
document. Apply and Ok out of the Window. Does it work? If yes then close
out of Word, you should be prompted to save the Normal.dot. SAVE IT and test
it again.

My bad...Selecting the Prompt to save the normal .dot does not prevent
changes, it keeps changes you make to the Normal.dot. I'm thinking faster
than I can type.
