There's also entirely different functions of other keystrokes within the suites. For example...when typing in Entourage, PowerPoint and Word, <return> creates a new paragraph/line. In Excel, that doesn't happen. It moves you to the next cell. Why? Because Excel is a spreadsheet program and has different needs. Return in a word table creates a new line, it doesn't move you to a new cell. There's dozens of commands that differ between applications in the suite, and for good reason. I'm sorry you don't like that, but that's the way it is. Would you want Excel to behave JUST LIKE WORD even though it makes no sense at all? I always get warned every time I delete anything, because I leave those warnings on. john -- Pajamas are indeed comfy, but society dictates we not wear them to school, work or the bowling alley. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
