WinWord: Repeat Key Does Not Remember Original Action
'Article ID: Q79178

Creation Date: 15-DEC-1991

Revision Date: 09-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for Windows versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, pressing the F4 key repeats the last action performed. However, if you choose Border from the Format menu in a table and then press F4 in a paragraph, Word for Windows repeats the action as a paragraph border instead of a table border if you press F4 in another table.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem


 * 1) From the Table menu, choose Insert Table, and choose the OK button. Repeat this command so that your document includes two tables. Press ENTER several times to insert some blank lines.
 * 2) Select one of the tables. From the Format menu, choose Border, select any border, and choose the OK button.
 * 3) Select a blank line, and press F4 to repeat the border in that paragraph.
 * 4) Select the second table, and press F4 to repeat the border.

Word for Windows formats the second table with a paragraph border (the border surrounds around each cell), rather than a table border. Pressing F4 in a paragraph changes the attributes of the Format Border command from a table orientation to paragraph orientation. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
