How do I disable auto repeat
Hi All, I didn't know what to look for so I apologize if this was answered
before. But how do I disable the 'feature' that causes repetitive typing of a key if it is held down. Like for the letter dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd if I hold it down, it continues across the page. How can I disable this? I have a student who has trouble coordinating her hands on the keyboard (she has a disability) and she tends to hold down a key she is typing. Is this something that CAN be disabled? Thanks So much!! katy |

Thanks So much!! katy Yes, it can be disabled, but it's a Windows setting, not a Word setting. In the Windows Control Panel, choose Accessibility Options (in Windows XP) or Ease of Access Center and then click "Make the keyboard easier to use" (in Windows Vista). In the dialog, set up and turn on the Filter Keys option. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How do I disable auto repeat
Jay is correct but there may be a 'simpler' setting in the Control Panel,
Keyboard applet. You can adjust both the Repeat Delay (make that much longer) and the repeat rate (which shouldn't affect this problem). -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "katy" fairytale_4_at_hotmail.com wrote in message news Hi All, I didn't know what to look for so I apologize if this was answered before.
