WD6: Internet Assistant, Odd Shortcut Key Behavior in Hyperlink

 Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q128510
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, version 1.0
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

In the Hyperlink dialog box tabs, pressing the following key combinations produces incorrect results:

  • Pressing ALT+E in any of the three tabs activates the Network connect dialog box. This behavior is correct for the Local Document tab only, where you can choose the Network button by pressing ALT+E.
  • Pressing ALT+Y in the Local tab executes the OK button when all of the fields are filled in; otherwise, it has no effect.
  • Pressing ALT+Y in the Bookmark tab selects the first item in the list of bookmark names.
  • Pressing ALT+Y in the URL tab moves the focus to the URL selection box.
  • Pressing ALT+D, ALT+N, ALT+T, or ALT+V in the URL and Bookmark tabs moves the focus to the URL selection box and the Text To Display box, respectively.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

The following shortcut keys activate options on the Local Document tab only: ALT+E, ALT+D, ALT+N, ALT+T, and ALT+V.
