Is it possible to enable the keyboard shortcut mappings for the File
menu in Word 2003? i.e. in word 2003 Alt+F+U was Page Setup, but now in
2007 it shows the Publish menu in the office button.

I find it weird all the rest of the 2003 keyboard shortcuts are in place
except for the one File menu.
 
You can right click on QAT and customise keyboard shortcuts for PageLayout.

You can also point in top of Ruler and double click - this opens Page
Layout.
 
Try this:

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+[plus sign on number pad]. This turns the mouse pointer
into a cloverleaf.

2. Use that cloverleaf to click the Page Layout tab in the ribbon, then
click on the Page Setup dialog launcher in the bottom right corner of the
Page Setup section of the Page Layout tab in the ribbon.

3. This causes the Customize Keyboard dialog to appear, with the
FilePageSetup command already selected.

4. Click in Press New Shortcut Key, and press Alt+F then U, it will display
as Alt+F,U.

5. Click Assign, then Close.

If you have Word set up to prompt before saving changes to Normal.dotm,
click Yes when prompted.

Tip: I have FileSaveAll on my QAT so I can force Word to save Normal.dotm at
any time (being careful not to save any stray Document # windows I might not
want saved). [This is necessary because the old Shift+click File menu no
longer exposes the Save All command, largely because the File menu has been
replaced by the Pizza dialog.]
