No words appear when typing???
I work in a school with a small network and one child has a problem that he
is unable to type any further words into document that he has already started. The mouse works fine but when he uses the keyboard nothing happens. Has he got one over on me? Or am I missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated. |

Are you witnessing this?
It could be a problem with the keyboard -- but if it's on a computer that others are using it would be "odd" that this would only affect him. If it is specific to HIS document, it's possible he has (inadvertantly?) turned on "white" or "hidden" text. Use the mouse to select the area where he is typing and then press "Ctrl+Space" -- this should wipe out any formatting on the font. If that doesn't work, choose Format, Font and make sure that HIDDEN is not checked, and the color is set to Automatic or Black. Otherwise, it could be a keyboard problem. (You can try opening another another program and seeing if the keyboard works in that.) Try: 1. Make sure the keyboard is plugged in! (Unless it's a USB connection the computer should be turned off before plugging/unplugging the keyboard or mouse). 2. Try restarting the computer. This solves most of lifes problems... 3. Watch what someone who uses the keyboard with no problem does compared to him. Good luck! Laura "Sandy Ridgeway" Sandy wrote in message ...
