SYMPTOMS
Some of the access hot keys in the Microsoft Exchange client are different than in other Windows applications, resulting in unexpected effects or error/warning beeps.

For example, the -O (Format) hot key, used for getting to the Format menu in applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel, is used in the Microsoft Exchange client to bring up the Address Book screen when called within the New Messeage (send note) screen. If you presses -O outside of the New Message screen, an error beep occurs.



STATUS
Microsoft has concluded that it is not possible to redesign this and other hot keys to completely conform to other Windows applications like Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.

Additional query words: KEYBOARD CLIENT HOTKEY
