Windows 95 Shortcut Key for Word Doesn't Work Second Time (137736)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95 7.0a
This article was previously published under Q137736 SYMPTOMS
When you use a shortcut key to switch to Word, it starts Word the first
time you use the shortcut key, but if you use it a second time, nothing
happens. The focus switches away from the program you're working in, but
Word does not appear. Shortcut keys for other applications seem to work
correctly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows 95 version
7.0 and 7.0a. This problem does not occur in Word 97 for Windows because
the Shortcut key property is no longer available.
WORKAROUND
Press ALT+TAB to scroll between Word and any other open applications.
MORE INFORMATION
You can create a shortcut key for any application by first creating a
shortcut to the application, and then clicking the icon with the right
mouse button. Click Properties and then click the Shortcut tab. Click in
the Shortcut key box and press the keystrokes you want to use. Click OK.
