Arrow Keys Ignored in PowerPoint Slide Show PSS ID Number: Q64912 Article last modified on 09-25-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

WINDOWS

Summary:

When in a manually advanced slide show, if you begin to specify the next slide by entering the first digit of the slide number, any subsequent arrow keys that you strike are ignored until you press the ENTER key. Normally, the arrow keys are used to advance to the next slide or go to the previous slide. No warning beep is issued to indicate that the arrow keys are inactive at this point.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
