Disabling Word Shortcut Keys:

The way to disable shortcut keys varies depending on which version of Office you have.

:Instructions for Office 2010 or earlier:

  • In Word, open the Tools menu > Customize
  • Click on the button at the bottom that says Keyboard
  • Highlight the Category and Command that you want to disable
  • Under the Current Keys box, highlight the conflicting shortcut key and then click the Remove button at the bottom of the screen.
  • Close all windows when you are finished

3) To type ø, disabling the ListBullet does not work. The work around that I found was to assign the appropriate keystroke to the ø character. You can do this by going to the Insert menu > Symbol, then highlight the ø character in the table and click on the Shortcut Key button. Here you can assign a shortcut key combination much the same way you removed it from the other locations.

For Office 2013:

  1. In Word, right-click anywhere on the Ribbon and choose Customize Ribbon
  2. Find Keyboard Shortcuts at the bottom of the window that appears and click Customize
  3. In the Categories menu on the left, scroll down and select All Commands
  4. Highlight the command you want to disable in the left column (hit the first letter of the command to jump to that part of the list)
  5. In the Current Keys box, highlight the conflicting shortcut key and click the Remove button at the bottom of the window.
  6. Close all windows when finished.
  • To type ß, disable the command called DocSplit
  • To type ¡, disable the command called ApplyHeading1
