Where are Custom Keyboard Shortcuts Stored? 2000/20003

[Lori]

Got a couple users who went all crazy with custom keyboard shortcuts. We had
to rename his normal.dot and they're all gone now. I can use the Organizer
to recover AutoText, toolbars and stuff, but I can't find the custom keyboard
shortcuts.

That won't help if Normal.dot has been deleted. If it has just been renamed
(as indicated), then opening the renamed Normal.dot and running this would
work. But it will not help in Word using the default Normal.dot.

So I can print them out, but there's no way to copy them over to a new
normal.dot? And MS finds this good?

A free utility called Shortcut Organizer will also transfer keyboard
shortcuts:

You might see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportUserShortcuts.htm, but I think
this is still just a list. I don't know of any way to transfer the actual
shortcuts, no.

I have no idea what (or if) MS thinks about this.

The Shortcut Organizer has been out for years and works pretty well. It also
includes a document variable viewer/writer.

Well. Downloaded and tried it. I think the variable works, however nothing
happens when I click on the keyboard one.
