I've figured out the problem. I have a Logitech MX500 mouse which has a couple of extra buttons on it, which can be assigned to forward and back for internet browsing (for which the key command is normally Alt+Left or right). A while back I figured out that I could re-map these two buttons to other keys in Finale using TGTools so that I can flick through pages using just the mouse, which is considerably quicker (I effectively re-mapped Ctrl+PgDN and PgUP to Alt+Left and Right). What must be happening is that sometimes the Alt key isn't released as you suggested. I think I'm just going to put up with it, and try and remember to hit the Alt key when it happens, as I really appreciate being able to change pages with the mouse, and it doesn't happen every time. Thanks, C. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
