MAACWORD: Numeric Lock Command Unavailable (125222)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q125222 SYMPTOMS
You are unable to activate the numeric keypad by using a Word command. This
functionality is changed from earlier versions of Word, which provided the
Numeric Lock command (Tools\Commands) to turn on or off the numeric keypad on non-Apple keyboards.
RESOLUTION
On Apple keyboards, the NUM LOCK feature can be turned on and off by
pressing SHIFT+NUM LOCK (clear).
Some non-Apple keyboards may also use this keystroke. However, some
keyboards (for instance, a model made by Kensington) may not accept this
keystroke. For assistance with Kensington or Key Tronic keyboards, contact:
Kensington Microware Limited (800) 535-4242
Key Tronic (800) 262-6006
NOTE: Help for Word for the Macintosh version 6. x and Word 98 Macintosh Edition does not state that the Numeric Lock command is no longer available. Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information. STATUS
Word 6.0.1 and Word 98 Macintosh Edition have NUM LOCK on by default,
though there is still no Numeric Lock command. You must still use the
SHIFT+NUM LOCK (clear) keystroke to turn NUM LOCK on and off.
