Debbie Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi, Due to a muscle tear, I can't use the foot pedal, so I'm forced to use the hand controls for f4, F7 and F9. It has been working fine since February until the last week, when I would hit the F4 key and word was trying to open a document. I realize it has something to do with word thinking i'm opening a document, so I temporarily reassigned it to F5 and F4. I noticed today the F7 key is acting up also. Why is this happening after all this time, and what else can I do. I can only use the hand controls now. THANKS DEBBIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS DEBBIE Hi Debbie: I'm handicapped and completely unable to use the footpedals, so ES was a godsend to me 7 or more years ago. Generally I find when the F keys don't work, it's becuase the F lock on the keyboard has been unengaged. I did a little test, and that may be one reason. Try engaging the F Lock on the keyboard and see if it works. Happy hunting. KRN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hi, I did hit the F lock key a few times. Now this is starting in the F5 key (where it is opening a document) and F7. Not sure how to fix. Still unable to use the foot pedal. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
