AnAutoExit macro is usually a better way of intercepting this).63Ctrl+NFile New DefaultCreates a new document based on the Normal template.64Ctrl+OFile OpenOpens an existing document or template65Alt F, UFile Page SetupChanges the page setup of the selected sections66Ctrl + PFilePrintPrints the active document (brings up the dialog)62NOT Ctrl+N!!File New

Creates a new document or template (brings up the dialog). Note that: Wordpretends that Ctrl+N is assigned to FileNew but it isn't, it's assigned toFileNewDefault You can fix this in Word 2000 by assigning Ctrl+N to theFileNewDialog command. In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a macrocalled FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the quotes andClick "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed to make itwork).
