To elaborate:

It seems as if WV7 allows only a limited number of shortcut uses before it "logs off" L&G. After (sometimes 5, sometimes 9) several uses, shortcut no longer functions. If I close and re-open the program (or refresh in L&G-Alt-F-F5), I get several more uses, then WV7 overrides it again.

Regarding "dropping" the first character of the shortcut, I have, of course re-booted, with unpredictable success-sometimes it works OK (for several uses), sometimes continues to "drop" the first character. For example, the shortcut should read: "Pack Creek Road," but displays "ack Creek Road." I have tried both Ctrl keys, have even switched from wireless MS keyboard to wired HP keyboard that came with PC, to change.

I can export the shortcuts to my older PC running XP, and they work fine.

May I assume you (Tethys) are using WV7, no problem?
