Default Ctrl+K and K button do not work for italics in Word 2016

I am using Word 2016 in Windows 10 64 bit Prof. I cannot format text in italics using the keyboard short cut Ctrl+K or the button with the K. I have every time to open the menu Font.



Please, any idea to solve this? Thanks for your help.

Ctrl+K is usually the shortcut for a hyperlink. Ctrl+I is the shortcut for Italics.

In the Spanish and Catalan versions of Word 2016, Ctrl-K is the shortcut for italics. I can see it when I place the cursor on the K button: "Cursiva (Ctrl+K). Aplica el formato de cursiva al texto". I am not new in Word! In any case, the button does not work either.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of the language differences.

Try starting Word in Safe Mode. (Hold down the Ctrl key when starting Word.) Same problem? (This is a diagnostic, not a fix.)

Many thanks for your help. In Safe Mode there is no problem: the button and also the keyboard shortcut work fine.


(Probably the problem started after installing the language tools for Italian. It took a long time and now the name of the language tools menu in the list of programs is in Italian.)

It is probably an Add-In.
Add-Ins in Microsoft Word
Try starting without Add-Ins as described in the linked article.
If that is the problem, you'll need to switch them off, one at a time, and figure out which one is causing the problem.

Thank you very much. With your help I have solved two problems I had: 1. Could not format italics with keyboard shortcut or click on button. 2. Question on saving changes in the Normal.docx template every time I closed Word (I had not explained this problem). The cause of both problems was the Normal template. I had copied it from my laptop with Windows 10 (where it worked fine) to my desktop with Windows 7 and it seems that Word 2016 did not like this.
