The second one (bush) does not work for me.. i use vista..maybe it has been fixed.. must try it in VM.. anyone with XP try it and comment for others pls!
I guess it has something to do with the encoding!
And btw i've read that the third one works with Mac verison of MS Word as well!
I think it's just a shortcut and not a bug. But shortcuts are not supposed to be so long and difficult to remember!lol
