It is standard behaviour; the same is true in FM 7 or Word, and most other programs. It's just a little confusing in FM 9/10 because these pod-thingys don't look like regular dialog boxes. But in most programs, when a dialog is open, shortcuts only work in the context of that dialog. My thanks to the earlier poster who mentioned Shift + F7 to put the focus back in the document -- that means MANY fewer time-sucking mouse-clicks I'll have to use! s. -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited 3781 Victoria Park Avenue, Unit 3 Toronto, ON, Canada M1W 3K5 +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com
