CTRL+SHIFT+M Key Combination Does Not Work as Assigned

Q115336


The information in this article applies to:


SYMPTOMS

If the After Dark screen saver is active in Windows, the CTRL+SHIFT+M key combination will not work inside Word or other Windows applications. The CTRL+SHIFT+M key combination is used as a default for the Unindent command in Word 6.0 for Windows.


CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the CTRL+SHIFT+M key combination is reserved by After Dark for muting the sound of the screen saver.


WORKAROUNDS

Method 1: Close After Dark.

Method 2: Reassign the Unindent (or other) function activated by CTRL+SHIFT+M to another key combination.
