Re: Ignores first click



MS Office (and some other applications, like Wordpad) is ignoring the first
click. I believe that focus is handled by the OS (WinXP in this case), it
can be set up to change focus without any clikcing, you know.

In any case, is there a way to make the Office applications treat the first
(focus giving) click as any other click, like most applications do (e.g.
notapad, outlook express, outlook 2002, a.s.o). I have used programs that
have a setting for this, and hope this behavior is not "hard coded" in the
Office 2003 suite.

Anyone
