I don't think anything is associated with CTRL+ALT+ENTER. You can use it for your own purposes. Here's a list of Word hotkeys: allhotkeys.com/microsoft_word_hotkeys.html

Please, can I have a question?

What is the purpose of CTRL+ALT+ENTER keyboard shortcut in MS-Word? What should it do?

Thank you.

SendMessage(hWnd,EM_SETEDITSTYLEEX,0,SES_EX_NOMATH ) does not work in Windows8 RTM.

Is there other way to enable math for RichEdit?

Hi Murray,

Would you mind providing an update of this post with the versions following Office 2007, and also 32/64 compatibility issues? thanks

Are there any intents to implement the "optical scalable" fonts for ordinary text in some future versions of RichEdit? (i know it would require to extend the set of fonts - to develop fonts for several hights [5 pt, 6 pt, 7 pt, 8 pt, 10 pt, 12 pt, 20 pt] ) But I thing that the text will look better after that, and it will be better readable at smaller heights (for height less than 8 pt).

The optical margin alignment of paragraphs would be also very nice feature which would improve the overall impression from the document.

Thank you.

Finally, it seems that the Word 2013 now supports the new better line-breaking algorithm (for the ordinary text) based on the penalty principles.

Using VBA or VSTO or some other.NET program , how can we get the MathML format of a math equation in Word 2007/2010? Thanks.

How do you guys deal with potential integer overflows like a long runs of text with a large font?

Re Nali's question, Word 2013 only uses RichEdit 8 for the math input method (math build up/down) and in various dialog boxes. Word's math typography is usually the same as RichEdit's because they both use the same underlying math layout/display engines, LineServices and Page/Table Services, and math font. But Word has it's own backing store and display facilities, which are independent of RichEdit.

Royi and Christian, thanks for the feedback. It's very valuable in helping to guide what improvements will be made.
