SYMPTOMS
When you type in the datasheet of a Microsoft Graph 97 chart, characters that you type are either lost or unexpectedly changed to all capital letters.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the appropriate method for your situation:

NOTE: The problem described in this article may reoccur after using any of the following methods.

Method 1: Characters in Capital Letters
If the characters you type are changed to all capital letters, press and hold the SHIFT key to type lower-case characters.

Method 2: Retype the Entry
Delete and retype the entry on the chart datasheet.

Method 3: Restart Graph 97
Quit and restart Microsoft Graph 97.

Method 4: Paste Data from Microsoft Excel Sheet
Type your datasheet data in a Microsoft Excel worksheet. Then copy and paste the data from Microsoft Excel into the datasheet in Microsoft Graph 97.



MORE INFORMATION
When the all-capital-letters problem occurs, the CAPS LOCK key light on the keyboard is not on. Pressing the CAPS LOCK key turns the CAPS LOCK light on or off; however, this key has no effect on typing in Graph 97.

If the SHIFT key sticks on your keyboard, and you click with your mouse in your chart, cells will be selected starting from the cell in which the SHIFT key stuck. If you type with the cells selected, data contained in the cells may be lost. Please note that this is not a cause or symptom of the problem discussed in this article.
