Hi Albacore,

Thanks for your feedback.

I don't find the spacebar making a noise when I activate it on a blank drawing area. Pressing the space bar only beeps after I've pressed the alt key (by pressing the alt key on its own the menu bar gets activated). But, it's not a problem now that I've learned to press cntrl-alt-mouse wheel to zoom in and out. As for other alt actions, I now realize they don't activate the main menu as long as you combine the alt key with a recognised alt-key command such as changing the pen tool to the convert anchor point tool. It's only when you press the alt-key on its own that the main menu is activated.

Thanks also for the link to the handy shortcuts chart.

I did install as the administrator, but perhaps placing some templates, symbol libraries, etc. that I'd created with CS4 into the CS6 folders is causing the problem. When I find time I will remove these files and perhaps do a re-install.

Regards,
MUD
