Ctrl S function lost

Win. XP, Word 2003 setup. Ctrl. S no longer works. There is not another
program on the system that uses that keystroke. I have tried remapping the
keyboard to this for File Save, replacing the keyboard, renaming Normal.dot
and having Word recreate it. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Re: Ctrl S function lost

If the document as already been saved, it looks like it saves it. If it is a
new document, it flashes, but I never get a dialog to save it.

Re: Ctrl S function lost

When it flashes, try doing an Alt+Tab. It could be that the Save dialog box
is under your document.

Re: Ctrl S function lost

That wasn't it. Any other ideas?
