Default Keyboard shortcuts being assigned incorrectly

Hello! I'm looking for help with assigning custom shortcuts in Word.

I used the "Customize Keyboard" option to assign command+shift+space to open the Word Count dialogue box. This was the first change I'd made to standard shortcuts.

That worked, but it ALSO somehow assigned command+shift+S to open the Word Count dialogue box. I have no idea why. Both shortcuts now open Word Count, and there is no longer a shortcut assigned to Save As. In the Tools menu, command+shift+S is displayed as the shortcut linked to both commands, but, as I said, it only has the effect of opening Word Count. In the Customize Keyboard dialogue box, command+shift+space is listed as the command for Word Count, just as I want it to be.



I've tried deleting both commands and re-adding them correctly, which has had no effect.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've no experience of Word for Mac, so for what it's worth:

Try deleting only the Command+shift+S shortcut, and see if you can assign it correctly.

Any chance 'S' is a shortcut for Space in Mac Word, or maybe in OSX? Since they share the S first letter…
