G'day macropod and thank you for your reply.



It is a strange thing that I have had recently and has occurred since I installed a couple of templates (simple ones for three different types of formatting) on both mine and the computers (business) of a friend. We run different versions of both Windows and Word, but all recent versions (as mentioned above) and this has been an unwanted part of the equation.

I was hoping that someone might have an answer, preferably a simple one!

As the famous ad went and we say Down Under, 'bugger'!

In the Customize Keyboard dialog box, see which commands are assigned to the Ctrl+B and Ctr+I shortcuts, respectively.

To display the dialog box, click the Customize button at File | Options | Customize Ribbon.
