Hi. This is mainly a question for Microsoft Corp, whom Icant get
thru to on the support line.
I have Word4 on a SE, in general everything ok. The problem is in
trying to use the keyboard shorthand to switch into Symbol font.
I hit Command-Shift-Q and the next character comes up in Symbol
font just like it should. Trouble is, the NEXT character doesn't.
Howver, if I move the cursor right behind the Symbol character
immediately after typing it and click there, THEN the Symbol "takes"
and I can keep typing in Symbol Font. Curioser: that's what happens
when I'm in Plain Text. If I first do something like going into
"superscript", then hit CmdShftQ, Symbol font "takes" the way it
should.
If I select Symbol from the menu, it works of course.
Now, If I do CmdShftQ and immediately look at the Fonts menu, it
tells me I'm in the Plain Text font, whatever that may be.
Is this "just" a bug? Is there a fix?
thankx.
