= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, and 4.0, an arrow is displayed at the bottom of the menu if you have more desk accessories (DAs) on the Apple menu, or more fonts on the Font menu, than can be viewed at one time. The remaining items on each menu can be viewed by dragging down to this arrow with the mouse.

When you activate Word’s menu bar by pressing the period on the numeric keypad and then view either the Apple menu or the Font menu by using the keyboard, these arrows will not appear; you cannot select items that are not visible.

Because of the nature of this feature (selecting menu items with the keyboard), this is not supported on the Apple menu, but only on Word’s menus.
