I bought the Word 4.0 upgrade for only one reason: to let me
rebind things to match my hardwired Emacs finger habits.
Imagine my shock when I found that Word won't let me use the
CONTROL key as a modifier in a keyboard binding!

There are kludges to get around with with AutoMac or other
macro packages, but they're pretty galumphing.

This is Really Annoying.  Anyone have any tricks up his sleeve?
