[AccessD] [EXTERNAL] Alt-Size to grid

The current keyboard sequence for Size to Grid for this is: Alt, J, A, S, S, O
Alt, J, A, puts focus on Arrange chunk in the ribbon.
S, S, selects the Size/Space dropdown menu
O selects 'To Grid' (where the 'o' is the accelerator, 'G' is taken by the 'Group' command on the same menu)

It's also on the right-click menu, so if you have a keyboard with the context menu key, you can do context-menu-key, S, O

I don't know if Alt-E-G used to perform this command.

Alt-E-G

back in the day, Alt-E G (expand to grid) would take a selected group of controls and expand all of them to line up all the borders to the grid.
When I try to do that now, Access just pops up a box telling me to continue typing the menu sequence from an earlier version of office...

Except that I continue but it doesn't expand the control's outline to the grid.

Any idea how that is done now?  Or is my memory failing and Alt-E G just not what I used to do?
