I have the same issue as Bill, and Walt's response isn't exactly what we're
looking for. I know where the list of keyboard shortcuts is documented...
The problem is that the shortcuts seemed to have CHANGED from Office X to
Office 2004, for no good reason that I can see, either. For example, in
Word, forward and backward one word used to be Cmd-arrow, and now it's
Opt-arrow. Why? Is there a preference somewhere that needs to be
set/reset, or do I just have to "get used to it," as I've been trying to do?

Regards,
Rick
