= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Works for MS-DOS, if you hold down direction keys for more than a single keystroke to move the cursor location while you are recording a macro, when you play back the macro, some of these directional keystrokes may be lost.

The keystroke repeat rate on your computer may not match the keystroke recording rate of the Works macro tool. The Works macro utility is not designed to function correctly if you continue to hold down direction keys for more than one keystroke while you are recording a macro.

Instead of using direction keys, use the Select Go To command to move the cursor location in a macro; or, press a direction key distinctly for each cell movement desired.
