WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Project, if the document window is restored (not maximized), you cannot use the ALT, RIGHT ARROW, or ALT, LEFT ARROW key sequence to activate the document window Control menu.

= WORKAROUND =

To activate the document Control menu using the keyboard when the document window is restored, use the ALT+-(minus sign) key combination.

= MORE INFORMATION =

In Microsoft applications such as Microsoft Word 6.0, Microsoft Excel 5.0, Windows File Manager, and Microsoft PowerPoint version 4.0, you can press the ALT key, then press the RIGHT ARROW key or the LEFT ARROW key to cycle through the menus in the application, including the document Control menu. In Microsoft Project, this key sequence does not select the document Control menu when the document window is restored.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start Microsoft Project.
 * 2) From the document Control menu, choose Restore.
 * 3) Press the ALT key. Press the RIGHT ARROW key until all of the menus and the program Control menu have been selected.

Note that the document Control menu is not selected.
