Why isn't ctrl+) shown as keyboard shortcut in Microsoft 365 Word.
Just by chance I was at the beginning of a sentence in a new doc I had created, I pressed ctrl+) - Control key plus the open paren - and the paragraph shifted down about half a quarter of a line. I find that putting the cursor anywhere in the paragraph and pressing ctrl+) did the same thing for the paragraph.
I can't find this shortcut anywhere. Does anyone know if it is an undocumented shortcut? And, if so, aside from ctrl+z to undo, is there another shortcut to raise the paragraph? Very handy.
Thank you,

Maybe you have found a shortcut that adds some Spacing Before to the text paragraph (for a list of Word for Windows shortcuts, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/keyboard-shortcuts-in-word-95ef89dd-7142-4b50-afb2-f762f663ceb2).
- Believe me I've looked through the list of Word keyboard shortcuts. Still wondering if it is documented?
Thanks for your reply.That shortcut does nothing on my system (Word for Windows - Office 365). It also shows up as unassigned if I try to add any function to it.
If you try to assign some other function to it, does it show it as assigned?
I would show this as Ctrl+Shift+0.

See Create a List of Keyboard Shortcuts in Microsoft Word .
There are different ways to get lists and the lists will show different shortcuts.
Does it do the same if you open Word in safe mode?

This may be a shortcut you created or one that is in an Add-In.
