WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

When you first bring up a tabbed dialog box (for example, the Task Information dialog box) the focus is set to the default tab, not to the first editable piece of information in the dialog box. To get to the first piece of information, press the TAB key on your keyboard.

= MORE INFORMATION =

All tabbed dialog boxes in Microsoft Word 6.0, Microsoft Excel 5.0, and Microsoft Project 4.0 function this way. This functionality allows you to use the keyboard to scroll through the various tabs in the dialog box when it is first brought up.

To enter information in a dialog box tab, you must press the TAB key at least once to move the insertion point to the first editable piece of information in the dialog box.
