[comp.windows.ms] Write question - no mouse!

geof@apolling (Geof Cooper) (05/19/89)

I don't have a mouse on my home system, but successfully use Write with
it.  There are two things I can't do: headers and footers.

When popping into either of these modes, Write puts a window on the
screen that is NOT the current window.  Hence, pressing Alt+ the
underlined key doesn't affect it (clicking the mouse on it does,
though).  Also, this window is not in the group of windows cycled
through using Alt+TAB.  I can't find a way to make this the current
window without a mouse.

Any ideas?

Buy a mouse or read the manual.  :-)

The manual says ALT+F6 , which appears to work, at least on my system.
