Disabled function keys
All function keys suddenly stopped working. Have tried the Disabled Items on
the About screen as directed by Word Help, and the ToolsCustomizeKeyboard threads, and have scoured Word help and the discussion groups for any additional information, but no luck. Hopefully I am missing something very obvious. thanks! |

Check Tools Options General and make sure both options dealing with Word
Perfect are unchecked. Having these checked wouldn't disable the function keys but would change them so that you might not notice what they were doing. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

The WordPerfect options were not checked, but thanks so much for your reply.
I followed the links and found lots of great info, but still nothing that answered why my function keys are disabled. My workaround has been to assign new keys to the functions I use most frequently (capitalization, update fields, thesaurus), but it's annoying that I can't find a way to enable the keys.
