GRAPH2000: Characters Are Lost or Changed to All Caps As You Type (291285)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Graph 2000

This article was previously published under Q291285

SYMPTOMS

When you type text in datasheet cells, Microsoft Graph may behave as if the SHIFT key is stuck. For example, all letters are typed as uppercase (capitals) even though you are not pressing SHIFT, and the CAPS LOCK light on the keyboard is not on. If you press the TAB key, Microsoft Graph tabs backward through the cells, instead of forward.

Also, sometimes no keyboard input occurs; that is, no characters appear in the cells as you type.
