I like to use keyboard shortcuts, avoids aches and pains.
However - the "Get * Placeable" in Trados is impossible to use.
The combination of Ctrl+Alt+ Up, Down or whatever, will turn the screen display upside down (or whatever direction of arrow I press) on my computer.
Is there anything I can do about this?

Assigning Customized Key Combinations to Macros Feb 1, 2008

Well, actually there is something you can do if you are working in Word. As you know, Trados uses macros included in a template for Word.

Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys Feb 1, 2008

this combination does exactly what it's supposed, to and has nothing to do with Trados. ctrl+alt+PgDn is the command for expanding a string.
Hope this helps.

You should disable these hotkeys in your graphics adapter settings (right-click your Desktop and select Properties - Settings - Advanced; the exact place where to disable the hotkeys depends on your display driver).

I can tink of absolutely no circumstances where I would want an upside-down or sideways display...


It's useful for people who use pivot monitors (monitors that can be rotated).

Thanks! Feb 1, 2008

I tried Hynek's solution first, and it worked!
