CAPITALIZATION OF ENTIRE LINE
I use Word in Office 2003. Because I have to type very fast in my work, I
have run across an aggravating problem that occurs regarding capitalization. If I accidentally hold down the shift key a little too long, the rest of the sentence continues to be typed in all capitals even though I have released the shift key. Is there any way to stop this action from occurring? Thanks! -- singeredel (Julie) |

CAPITALIZATION OF ENTIRE LINE
Hi Julie -
There must be more to this than meets the eye. Word has no such keyboard shortcut like this, and even if I hold the Shift key down while I type 3-4 words (or a part of the 5th) the text i type after releasing the Shift key is *always* lower case. As a slow, heavy-handed typist I am certain I would have encountered this if it were simply a Word problem. I have also tried adjusting the system Keyboard settings to the shortest Repeat Delay & fastest Repeat Rate without being able to provoke that type of behavior. The Shift key is a modifier key that is unaffected by the repeat settings. Do you perhaps have some type of keyboard that may have custom settings that differ from the norm? Or perhaps some type of utility software that runs in the background that could be contributing to the condition? Regards |:) "singeredel" wrote: I use Word in Office 2003.

Sounds like you've been victimized by those evil sticky keys. Here are the
instructions necessary to unvictimize yourself, lifted out of Windows 2000 help: SHIFT five times Switch StickyKeys on and off -- Kevin Backmann "singeredel" wrote: I use Word in Office 2003.

BTW:
You can modify the sticky keys settings under Accessibility Options. -- Kevin Backmann "singeredel" wrote: I use Word in Office 2003.

Sounds to me like StickyKeys (as discussed in a nearby thread). You can
disable this through Control Panel | Accessibility Options. -- Suzanne S.

Caps Lock is next to the one at left side, of course. |

It doesn't have anything to do with caps lock. I thought perhaps it might
have something to do with the keyboard (wireless Microsoft Comfort Keyboard 1.0A) but I can find no setting relating to this for the keyboard. I did not have StickyKeys enabled but have unchecked the shortcut for StickyKeys and will test and see if this helps at all. -- singeredel "B.I." wrote: "singeredel" wrote in message ...

I don't know if anyway will see this at this point, but turning sticky keys
on or off does not seem to make a difference with this problem. -- singeredel (Julie) "singeredel" wrote: I use Word in Office 2003.

Perhaps you have inadvertently pressed Ctrl+Shift+A (All Caps).

Well, it seems it would be pretty hard to hit all three of those keys at the
same time as many times as this problem occurs, so it is doubtful that this is the problem, but I will try to see if this could possibly be the case. Thanks. -- singeredel (Julie) "Suzanne S.
