I think that I mistakenly made the F7 key a Shortcut Key for Mozilla. (I'm not sure if this was me or by default).
Now even thought I changed the shortcut to anther key, F7 still opens this software.
This causes trouble for Word, as F7 no longer opens Spelling.
I've tried to re-set this several times, but the Mozilla old setting still over-rides Word.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this and get the original Word Key Command back?

By default the F7 key in Mozilla Firefox is used as the toggle switch for Accessibility. It should not have any bearing on the F7 key used in MS Word .. unless you installed some software that enabled the hotkeys. Uninstall whatever you have installed and you should be fine.

Hi
I've never had a problem with this before... using 2000 or Vista.
I do have MacroScheduler, which is great HotKeys software, but isn't set for F7 or Office or Mozilla. Its never been a problem.
For some reason, Mozilla seems to have invaded Office, and decided to take over F7.
