Re: Problem tabbing to enter data in table

Wow, talk about flailing in the dark! It might indeed, if it were develped
by cretins. But sadly, it was not, so you're way out of your milieu.

That depends on how you define "detect." Of course Word does not represent
how hard the keys are pressed. But Word might very well cause some
computer
activity after a tab that occupies the central processor so it doesn't
detect
a press unless it is longer than normal. This possibility that you seem
too
obtuse to glean is not only a logical possibility but seems to correspond
to
the facts.

This sounds like a hardware problem but it is a Word problem
experienced
in
connection with Tables:

When entering data into a table in Microsoft Word 2003, using the tab
key
to
navigate from cell to cell, if I don't press the tab key firmly and
sharply
and sometimes even when I do push it that way, the keyboard will either
fail
to execute a tab or it will do so partially. This "partial" response
happens
most often when the first letter the first letter of the table cell is
capitalized, and the letter is omitted. I call it a "partial" response,
because hitting the tab key a second produces the correct capital
letter.

I know it isn't a hardware problem, because repeated use of the tab key
in
NotePad is unploblematic. I think there is some setting that's being
applied
to tables that creates problems. I turned off AutoCorrect, so that's
not
where the problem lies. Any ideas about this?
