= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word versions 4.00 and later, any dyadic command (a command that offers two results, such as COMMAND+OPTION+C for Copy To or Copy From, or COMMAND+OPTION+V for Format To or Format From) followed by COMMAND+OPTION+Z (Go Back command) does not function as it did in Word version 3.02.

For example, pressing COMMAND+OPTION+C while text is selected displays “Copy To” in the lower left corner of the window. In Word version 3.02, you can press COMMAND+OPTION+Z (Go Back command) to return the insertion point to its prior location in the document before pressing RETURN or ENTER to complete the dyadic command. However, in Word 4.00, COMMAND+OPTION+Z beeps after you press COMMAND+OPTION+C and will not return to the previous location.

To obtain the same result, you can use COMMAND+C to copy and then use the Go Back command and press COMMAND+V to paste the information in.
