Default Peculiar behaviour of form

The easiest way to find out what's assigned to a shortcut key is to
press Ctrl+Alt and the + sign on the number pad, then press the
shortcut in question. The Customize dialog will pop up and display the
assignment, if any. See item 9 in the first group at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...efFilename.htm.

To find macros, open the Tools Macro Macros dialog and see what's
in the list. If a macro is in Normal.dot or the base template for the
document, you'll be able to select the macro and click the Edit button
to see the code. If the macro is in an add-in, you can select the
macro but the Edit button will be disabled -- you would have to open
the add-in (using the File Open dialog) first to enable it.

Hi Aalaan,

Does that form have any macros that could be misbehaving? Possibly one
that's assigned to the down-arrow?

I have a new client who sends me instructions on a predesigned form in
Word. I have to reply by clicking on checkboxes (which produces an X) and
adding comments in allocated places, then sending back the form. I found
that random boxes were apparently becoming checked when I didn't want them
to be. I have eventually traced this to the operation of the keyboard
down-arrow key. If it is used random boxes become checked but if the
mousewheel is used for navigation all is OK. Can anybody throw light on
this
bizarre behaviour?
