It seems like the shortcuts I've been using for years in previous versions of Word are not working anymore. For example Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V are not working (there is Alt-Backspace, etc) and I have to learn new shortcuts. This is the thing I really don't want to do.

I'm facing this problem only in Windows 7, I've got Windows XP with the same version of Office 2010 and these shortcuts are working just fine. Is there any way to change Word shortcuts to an old version?

Only effecting Word 2010. Can you copy and past in other applications? – SgtOJ Nov 27 '10 at 12:25

It may be a long shot, but I have previously had a malware block certain common key combinations. Try scanning for one.

My guess is, there is a problem with a Word add-on/plugin that's installed and/or is enabled. That is if it isn't system wide.

Try disabling all the plugins and trying again.

Are both Ctrl keys stiff or only one? Are they stiff in Excel too?

I'd suspect some "security" application interfering like AV or so...
