I guess they are shortcuts, but pressing Alt w/out another key will
activate the menu bar, with nothing dropping down, until you press the
down arrow. I am not 100% sure though...maybe she has memorized that
Alt+F get you the file menu, Alt+E opens the Edit menu, etc..

This user is in Niagara Falls, and I am 25 miles east, so I really
can't pop in and see her. I could, but with the drive and everything, it
turns into a half-day job, at least, and I really do not have time for
this, especially if I don't have a ready solution for the problem.

On the Alt key issue, are you talking about the menus, or the
underlines
showing the shortcut keys?

I posted on Woody's lounge about the underlines not showing up until
the Alt
key is pressed.  There is an accessibility option that covers that
issue...and a display setting to.

Here's the thread:

Hello everyone! 

I was away from my Email all weekend, but now I am back to work, which
means back to the problems that I was working on Friday. First on my
plate, is this "missing menu bar" problem. 

I had a technician, who was nearby the user, try the "/a" parameter,
and this worked. But I thought that this meant that the normal.dot
file
needed to be replaced, so we tried deleting it and copying one from
another nearby, and similar, PC, and it did not work.

This user actually sounds to be a little more tech savvy than our
average user, so I am going to have her try the "/r" and see where
that
puts us.

I did find out from the technician that the menu bar's drop-down menus
do appear, when the Alt key is pressed...actually, you must press
Alt+F
or Alt and then the down arrow, but in either event, this means that
there is a menu present...it is just "invisible."

I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

Take care!

John W Clark
