How to get English keybindings on localized Word
At work, I have a machine with a Norwegian Word 2010 installed.
It uses localized keybindings, e.g. Ctrl-K for Italics instead of Ctrl-I, since Italics is called Kursiv in Norwegian.
How can I change Word to English/US keyboard shortcuts?
(As an, IMHO, interesting aside/rant: In Excel, us Norwegians have to write HVIS instead of IF.)
Go to
- Fil
- Alternativer
- Språk
- Select Engelsk [English] as your preferred display language ("skjermspråk/visningsspråk") in the language priority box
- Click "Bruk som standard"
- Språk
- Alternativer
This is a little hard to explain without including Norwegian language, but in English, it would look something like this:
- File
- Options
- Language
- Select [English] as your preferred display language in the language priority box
- Click "Set as Default"
- Language
- Options
Note: You'll have to do a restart of Word after performing these changes
