Word 2007 Ctrl+A Creates an Arrow

Hi all,

Odd one this. When I press Ctrl and A for a select all in Word 2007, I get one of these: →

Any ideas why? I have no short cut modifications - this is all since installing Word 2007?!

Odd.

I guess, these are called Easter Eggs.

For me CTRL + A still selects the entire document.

If you click on Insert - Symbol - More Symbols, there is a Shortcut Key button. You might have it assigned there.

Ah ha! Cool! You fixed it for me. Not that I assigned that Shortcut mind you - I am writing a thesis so i would kick myself for deliberately screwing up the fabulous Ctrl+A Select All shortcut.

I have no idea where this came from...but fixed now. Thanks!
