SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0, the COMMAND+OPTION+V
shortcut key combination changed functionality from earlier versions of
Word. In versions earlier than 6.0, this shortcut key combination copied
character or paragraph formats of a selection to subsequently selected
text.
Word 6.0 and later versions use COMMAND+OPTION+V to insert an AutoText
entry (formerly called Glossary entries). In Word 4.0 and 5.x, you could
use the COMMAND+K shortcut to open the Glossary dialog box and select your
Glossary entry.
To use COMMAND+OPTION+V, first type the AutoText name in your document,
then press the COMMAND+OPTION+V to expand the AutoText entry.
