Confused keyboard commands between languages

Go to File>Options>Customize Ribbon and then click on the Customize button to the right of Keyboard shortcuts.

If you have made no other customizations of the Keyboard shortcuts, you may just be able to use the Reset All button.  Otherwise, locate the commands that you want to assign to the keyboard shortcuts and press the new combination of keys that you want to use.

You can tell all of your friends that they can change the keyboard assignments in their Swedish versions in the same way so that Office behaves the same as other software applications.

Thanks.  That was strange. I couldn't just press "Reset All" when I got to the Customize Keyboard window because it was grayed. So instead I had to go through the commands manually (took me a while to find that the command is called EditFind), and it had no keyboard command at all linked to it. When I added Ctrl+F, THEN the option to Reset All became available, so I tried it and it deleted the keyboard command for Ctrl+F. So I reconfigured it again.

How weird is that? It's been Ctrl+F since the old DOS days. And up until today, it had been that on Word 2013 too. Bizarre.

It occurred to me that one reason Word 2013 is borrowing Swedish keyboard commands is because I haven't uninstalled the Swedish Word 2010. I noticed and was pleased that 2013 imported my macros from 2010. Apparently it borrowed the other keyboard command because the indigenous one disappeared. Really strange.

Now I'm going to check and see if the Customize Ribbon thing works on my Swedish Word 2010. Could have saved myself the investment in 2013. :-)

If you have any ideas as to why the preprogrammed standard keyboard command just vanished like that, I'd love to hear them. No biggie though, now that I know where to fix it!

Thanks again!

Oh, this is weird. It seems to be a particular file that's blocking my ability to use Ctrl+F as the "Find" command. I had to go into the Customize Keyboard window and specifically select the open document instead of Normal.dotm.

The reason doesn't seem to be because the language settings on the client's file are set to Swedish, because I changed it to English and saved it under a different name and the new file works the same way.

Could this be some sort of incompatibility between Word for Mac and Word for Windows? I'm pretty sure the client works from a Mac.
