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. >>> DWUTKA at marlow.com 03/03/03 10:35AM >>> 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.

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!
