MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Using the mouse to switch between multiple windows by clicking the inactive window does not disable the extend mode (EX) if extend was activated in the previous window. To toggle the extend mode off in Word version 5.50, press ESC. In Word version 5.00, press F6.

This behavior will not occur if you switch between document windows by pressing CTRL+F6 in version 5.50 or pressing F1 in version 5.00. CTRL+F6 or F1 disable the extend mode before switching to a new document window. In Word version 5.50, you can also switch to a new document by selecting the document name from the Window menu (this method also correctly disables the extend mode).
