XL98: Pressing Spacebar does not Display Office Assistant Balloon (186248)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q186248 SYMPTOMS
When you press the spacebar while a Wizard dialog box is open, the Office
Assistant balloon does not appear.
CAUSE
The Office Assistant balloon does not appear when you press the spacebar
because the Wizard dialog box always has the focus.
RESOLUTION
To display the Office Assistant balloon when a Wizard dialog box is open,
click once on the Office Assistant.
STATUS
This is by design of Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
MORE INFORMATION
When a Wizard dialog box is displayed, you can get help from the Office
Assistant by clicking the ? (question mark) in the lower-left corner of the
Wizard dialog box. The Office Assistant will then display a balloon asking
if you want assistance with the wizard. If you then press the spacebar,
this balloon will disappear. However, pressing the spacebar will not make
the balloon reappear. This behavior is different than that for Microsoft
Excel 97 for Windows.
