WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you press the F1 key in Microsoft Bob to display application and doorway locations, some names may not be visible.

= CAUSE =

This occurs if one application is positioned on top of another or an application is located in the same position where a doorway’s location box is displayed.

Doorway location boxes are always displayed on top. If an application is placed in a position next to a doorway, the application’s location box may be covered by the doorway’s location box when you press the F1 key.

= RESOLUTION =

To find a hidden program:


 * 1) Click the Other Options squishy.
 * 2) Click the Find A Program squishy.
 * 3) Look for your program in the list of Bob programs.
 * 4) Make sure the program name box is checked. Click Find It. A pointer displays the location of the application. You may also click one of the other two squishies available if the program wasn’t listed in the Bob programs list.
