Horrible command, as it makes it a long winded business to quit Word. But there's a simple solution - assign Alt+F4 to FileExit instead.

61 Alt + F4 (Word 97) FileExit Quits Microsoft Word and prompts to save the documents (does intercept the menu item, but not the keyboard shortcut, or the x button. An AutoExit macro is usually a better way of intercepting this). 62 NOT Ctrl+N!! FileNew Creates a new document or template (brings up the dialog). Note that: Word pretends that Ctrl+N is assigned to FileNew but it isn't, it's assigned to FileNewDefault You can fix this in Word 2000 by assigning Ctrl+N to the FileNewDialog command. In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a macro called FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the quotes and Click "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed to make it work). 63 Ctrl+N FileNewDefault Creates a new document based on the Normal template. 64 Ctrl+O FileOpen Opens an existing document or template 65 Alt F, U FilePageSetup Changes the page setup of the selected sections 66 Ctrl + P FilePrint Prints the active document (brings up the dialog) 67 Ctrl+F2 FilePrintPreview Displays full pages as they will be printed 68 Alt F, I FileProperties Shows the properties of the active document 69 Ctrl+S FileSave FileSave 70 Alt F, A (or F12) FileSaveAs Saves a copy of the document in a separate file (brings up the dialog)
