MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Word 5.00 does not accept characters above the keyboard numbers (for example, @, #, $, %) as valid style sheet key codes. These characters can be inserted into a style through the gallery, but any style whose key code is one or a combination of these characters will not be found by Word when its key code is entered using the ALT key. Word will return the error message “Key code not defined.”

Word version 5.50 will not allow the insertion of these special characters when defining styles. The message “This keycode is not valid” will be displayed.

To use one of these characters in a style key code, the character must be preceded by another character that is not located above the keyboard numbers.

For example, to use the ampersand (&) in a style key code, it must follow a number or letter. Possible valid combinations are 1&, a&, or h&.
