Hello.  Does anyone know how to insert a textbox or text 
frame using key commands?

Hi Ronda, 

You should be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to 
InsertFrame over Tools/Customize/Keyboard, from the 
category "All commands".

Will that work? I would imagine that it would have the same effect as
clicking the Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar or the Text Box button
on the Drawing toolbar, which just turns the mouse cursor to a + waiting for
me to draw the frame or text box. If I click with the mouse in the latter
case, a text box of default size will be inserted, but this still requires
use of the mouse, and in the case of the frame, nothing happens.

In another approach to a keyboard solution, I can get as far as Frame on the
Insert menu using ALT, I, F, F (the first F is Field), Enter, or to Text Box
with ALT, I, X, but this has the same results as clicking on the toolbar
buttons: mouse cursor changes to + and requires mouse input.

Hi Suzanne, 

You're right.

In that case, Ronda:

1. You could create an AutoText entry that contains a frame and insert that 
via the keyboard, as required

2. You could make a frame part of a STYLE definition

3. You could use a macro that would insert a frame, and possibly display the 
format dialog box immediately, so that you could quickly change position and 
size

3.How do I insert a phi character in word 2007 using keyboard short

I would like to know how can I insert a phi character using the unicode list 
of 03A6. I know that  can be inserted by holding the Alt key while typing 
164. How can I do the phi symbol or any other. Word has it listed as:
Shortcut key: 03A6, Alt+X but it does not work. Please help.

4.How do I insert a phi character in word 2007 using keyboard short

For the Alt 164 kind of code, you use the numeric keypad; but for the
Unicode codes like 03A6, Alt-X, you use the regular number keys. (Just
type the four characters, then Alt-X.) Does that make it work?

You assign your own shortcut to any character by going to Insert
Symbol, choose the character you want, and at the bottom is a
"Shortcut" button. Click that, type the code you want to use, click
Assign (and a panel opens where you can check whether that code is
used for something else), and then Close. (If the dropdown at the top
left is set to a particular font instead of "(normal font)" at the top
of the list, your shortcut will always insert the character in that
particular font, no matter what font the surrounding text is.)

To find the Greek letters, be sure the code type is set to Unicode
near the bottom right, and at the top right choose Greek from the
dropdown. To avoid conflicts with existing keyboard shortcuts, I'd
recommend using Ctrl-Alt-G, f for Phi (and Ctrl-Alt-G, Shift-F for
capital Phi). You could then do any other Greek letters you might need
with Ctrl-Alt-G as the "prefix."

5.Problem Converting Textbox to Frame

I have a figure that I copied from one Word Document and Pasted into another. 
 I made the text wrapping square.  I added a caption to the pasted picture 
and converted the textbox from the caption to a frame.  When I did this, my 
frame added other text from the Word document into my frame as well.  In 
other words the textbox converted to a frame but the frame had more than just 
the caption in it. 
Thanks for your help,
Sarena
