Thanks for all the replies! I played with the customization files, no luck yet, I'll definitely play with them more later when I have more time. It's true, Fred, for now I'll stick with Alt+o,p,d which for me is actually Alt+o,p....if I add the 'd' I get the description paragraph tag.
I think it's likely that you're right, Fred, and another program is intercepting the Ctrl+M. My Outlook and Word, off the top, both have Ctrl+M shortcuts. But those shortcut executions do not happen when I am in a FM document, so to me it seems like that shortcut should be free for FM. I guess not?

Windows Control-key shortcuts are defined in a configuration file called wincmd.cfg, which is located in the fminit\configui folder within your FrameMaker installation directory. There is no way to set or change these shortcuts from the GUI, so unless you have modified the wincmd.cfg file, some other application or utility must be intercepting the Ctrl+M key combination before FrameMaker ever sees it. Do you have a screenshot utility installed? A macro utility? A keyboard mapping utility? Are you using any Windows accessibility features? Any of those are likely culprits for intercepting certain Control-key commands before regular applications have a chance to act on them. But even if you don't track down what's intercepting Ctrl+M, you should still be able to use the Alt, o, p, d key sequence. Not as convenient as Ctrl+M, but at least you don't have to reach for the mouse. -Fred Ridder _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
