Leonard, Ctrl-E does invoke the search feature on a Windows 7 machine when MS-Word is not up and running. With MS-Word, Ctrl-E is then allowed to act as expected in MS-Word.
So your default keyboard layout file in your user and shared settings should have Ctrl-E as the keystroke, and not so in the MS-Word keyboard layout.

But when I rename it back to default.jkm the problem returned. So, can I highlight the data in the default old.jkm save it somewhere and thenpaste it back in to the default.jkm folder? Or should I do something different? Not sure if I'm explaining this correctly. On 10/9/2015 9:35 PM, Bissett, Tom wrote: > Do you have a default.jkm in your user folder?
