Microsoft word not working on mac after update

I checked it and the shortcuts continue to work and hovering over an icon displays what function it's supposed to perform. So I exited Excel 2011 and went back in and all the shortcuts are again working and 'Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands' is un-checked. (However the Edit menu does show that Cmd+C does 'copy to scrapbook'.) And after more experimentation no matter if I check or un-check 'Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands' I can't get Cmd-C to copy. I went back in and checked 'Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands' and Cmd-C started working again. Now as I wrote this posting I found out that Cmd-C stopped working again. Once I UNchecked that box the shortcuts started working again (after 'OK' dismissing the window) and the shortcut keys were displayed in the menus.Д«TW, ' Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips' is checked for me.

(That setting is supposed to show what an icon is supposed to do if you hover the mouse-pointer over it.) In the window that appears the Toolbars and Menus 'tab' is displayed (for me).Д¬heck or un-check 'Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands'. I had flakey results: go to menu View -> Toolbars -> Customize Toolbars and Menus. (In addition, selecting an area and hitting Cmd-C did not display the crawling-ants indication around the selection.) I found the problem using Excel with Office 2011, but it may apply to Word too.)Д¬md-C, Cmd-V, Cmd-X and maybe others stopped working and the shortcuts weren't displayed in the menu after I was messing around trying to add Paste->Transpose to the tool bar. [Note: I'm using Cmd- the same as Cmd+ as you don't actually type the hyphen or plus, and Cmd is the 'command' keyboard key.
