Howdy,
I was recently upgraded to Word XP from Word 97. Over the years I’ve come to know and love “F4” (repeat last command on the default keyboard mapping). But, since I’ve gone to XP, I’ve noticed that F4 isn’t as reliable as it was before. For example, I just changed the font size for bunch of cells in a table (using the Font Size combo box). I scrolled down a page or so, selected a bunch of cells in a different table and hit F4…and the font size didn’t change.
I checked my “Undo” list, and (from what I can figure out) hitting F4 skipped Font Size Select and instead executed the command prior to Font Size Select.
I haven’t tested this with other commands, but in the past few weeks I’ve seen some other “unusual” (i.e. not what 97 used to do) behavior from using F4. So, my question is…bug? Or did MS just decide to change the behavior of something that worked perfectly for no good reason except they could?
Thanks in advance for any answers!
Beej
