Microsoft Word Question (Spanish users)?

Question

Hi,

I'm helping a friend finish off her school project. This afternoon, while she was away, I was supposed to do some corrections on her computer in her word document. I'm used to the usual keyboard shortcuts we use in English speaking countries (Ctrl + V, Ctrl + A, Ctrl + S etc.) The same shortcuts don't apply to a computer running on Spanish Windows XP or in Spanish Microsoft Word.

For example, instead of using Ctrl + A for "select all", they use Ctrl + E for some reason that I'm not sure of because I don't know Spanish language.

Anyway, I ended up using some keyboard shortcut which triggered off the document revision tool. Something that tracks changes that I make to the document and doesn't save the changes (or saves them in a temporary form) unless I go into the revision toolbar and accept all the changes I made. Since everything here's in Spanish, can someone please help me turn this tool off?

Lots and lots of thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Ctrl + Shift + E

This turn document revision tool on & off.



If shortcut doesn't work, try graphical:

Search on "Revisar" menu, and then "Control de cambios" button, (it's an icon with paper and a pencil. Click on it to turn tool off.

Answer 2

In Office, using a shortcut key in a different language that you normally work with, it's like playing the Russian Roulette and you never win.



Press these keys: ++E (in this case is the same command for English and Spanish)

it will enable/disable the document review.



FYI

For some crazy reason, only know by Bill Gates, Microsoft decided to use sometimes the same shortcut keys and other time different shortcut keys for the same action. And to make things worse, the shortcut key in one language could have a different action on another language.
