InDesign CS2 Keystroke for bold not...

I'm currently using InDesign CS2 and Windows XP and the keystroke for bold (control+shift+b) is not working. However, the keystroke for italics (control+shift+i) does work. Any ideas on how to fix the bold keystroke?



If I need to reinstall my keyboard shortcuts, could you please tell me how to do that?



Thanks.

Is there a bold font installed?

Yes, I'm using Arial.

Are you able to choose bold from the dropdown menu?

Yes.

Is your Windows keyboard language set to English, or has it accidentally

switched to something else?

I checked and it is set to English (United States).

Edit %26gt; Keyboard shortcuts... and make sure that the shortcut is still in use (i.e. you haven't edited the set and saved and loaded it). If it is, it's probably time to replace your prefs.

Yes, the Apply Bold shortcut is still set to Default: Shift + Control + B.



So, could you tell me how to replace my prefs?



Thanks.

This link is to the directions for CS3. CS2 is identical if you don't want to back up the old ones and just use the keyboard combination, and a bit simpler if you do as both files are in the first directory mentioned in my comment.

Sorry. Forgot to put in the link. :)

Thanks, Peter! I'll give it a try.
