Acrobat 6/7/8/9 and Microsoft Office shortcut conflicts

Why oh why does Adobe have to select a menu shortcut for the Adobe Comments menu which is already in use within MS Word.

This problem dates back to Acrobat 6, with its MS Office integration and despite having sent several emails over the years and feature requests its never been fixed.

In summary, the Adobe Comments menu is accessed using Alt+C. This key command is already used by the Header and footer toolbar, for exiting header and footer editing mode.



So, if you live and die by keyboard shortcuts for quick working and are done editing your header/footer, you're stuck and have to go back to the mouse to exit because Adobe used a shortcut command which was already in use elsewhere in the application.

Please Adobe, I implore you to fix this problem - why something as basic and annoying hasn't been fixed in four major releases of a product befuddles me.
