WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

The Microsoft Project for Windows “Expand All” key combination, ALT+SHIFT+'', does not work on an HP Vectra machine. This is because on this particular keyboard, SHIFT+'' is assigned to the Print Screen function. The machine BIOS never allows an application “see” this keyboard event.

= STATUS =

This is a hardware limitation of HP Vectra machines.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The following steps reproduce this behavior:


 * 1) Start Microsoft Project for Windows on an HP Vectra.
 * 2) Enter six tasks. Make three of these tasks summary tasks.
 * 3) Collapse each summary task with ALT+SHIFT+ - (minus on the numeric keypad).
 * 4) Expand all tasks with ALT+SHIFT+* (on the numeric keypad).
