Why isn't ctrl+) shown as keyboard shortcut in Microsoft 365 Word.
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.
- I am baffled now. I don't know how far I want to pursue this anomaly. I just wish I could find the shortcut to bring the cursor down an equal distance.
Thanks for your reply.
Did it work for you, Stefan?Following up on Charles's idea, you can enter your shortcut in the Customize Keyboard dialog box and find out with which command it is associated.
Here, Ctrl+) does nothing, but I am not using an American keyboard, so that may be a factor. Some keyboard shortcuts are system-specific or language-specific (or both).
- Thank you Stefan. I will give Charles suggestion a try.
