Re: Two outlook problems!

I just tried opening the ribbons and making shure I
was on the home ribbon with alt h. This is using Word Starter 10. If
I left arrow once, I get to a menu button. If I down arrow, I'm not in
that menu. I'm in something that looks like that menu, without as many
items, but it isn't the actual menu. But if I use alt h, then left arrow
once and press space bar on the menu button, I am in the actual menu.
I'm not sure just how the Word interface works, you
can be in the menu and tab, and no longer be in the menu. Maybe you are in
backstage view, I'm not sure. But the program does follow the rule that if
you use alt f, you will be in the menu provided in ribbon programs and that if
you press the menu button, as described above, you will be in the menu.
You never tab to move through a menu. If you want to use whatever Word
makes available if you tab, then of course, you may, but you won't be in the
menu.
I don't know how many people are confused by the
Word interface in this respect. In general, if you tab in a menu, nothing
will happen. In more recent versions of Word, if you tab, you will be
taken out of the menu. I didn't know this until today since I don't tab in
menus. But now I'll be on the lookout for this as a possible source of
confusion when someone presents a problem where it may apply. Gene
