I can't leave Alt key alone, because I use Alt +Shift shortcut to switcn between languages. When I do switching between languages MS Word causes showing those square shaped signs on its panel, as it's shown above. And I had to press escape first, then one more time do switch between languages. In other words that's waste of time.
Please don't suggest me to do some settings in Windows. The Windows is OK, and it has nothing to do with this awful drawback in MS Word 2013.
I did some search on the web and I would say that quite a lot of people are facing with that issue and asking for solution. True, I did not learn any working solution on that issue. So I tried to write here.


P.S. It's impossible that there's no solution for MS Word that just disables Alt key when it isn't necessary.'Drawback' is not the word.

Press the Shift key first, then the Alt key. I.e., use Shift+Alt.
Or change the keyboard shortcut in Windows for switching languages.

I repeat, in the Ribbon versions of Word, there is no way to disable the Alt tooltips for the Ribbon. They were not in earlier versions of Word because there was no Ribbon. If you want to use a Ribbon version of Word, get used to it.

hello, glad to hear someone who's sympathetic.

Since I'm using Alt+Shift to switch languages quite a long time ( a little later than OS Windows ever became a gleam in Bill Gate's eye, of course), that looks to me as not a variant.

In a hurry, that doesn't work.
Anyway thanks for inputting.

Bingo! There's a partial solution.

Did on analogy. One guy did that to disable alt+s for Outlook. The same situation, he was sick of ribbon shortcuts. A link to https://social.technet.microsoft.com...um=officeitpro

Did comparison with this: https://superuser.com/questions/5752...ribbon-keytips

I just figured it out for Word 2013, because previous variant was not working for my OS.

Here is script for Win7 registry related Word 2013 I used.


Currently I'm testing that. It's not stellar, but I'm satisfied.

Could not attach .reg file for automaticall installation.
For manual insatallation, it would be better to ask somebody from IT department of your organization or who has clue about how to make changes in Windows registry.
