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 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://www.**--****.com/ (last update Sep 30 2003) http://www.**--****.com/ This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-)

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. Erick
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
