= SYMPTOMS =

When you edit the header or footer of a report, and you press the SHIFT key and type “a,” “p,” “w,” “i,” or “h,” you may receive unexpected results: that is, instead of entering a capital letter in your header or footer, you may activate a control associated with a shortcut or access key (for example, SHIFT+A activates the Add button).

= WORKAROUND =

To recover the use of the SHIFT key, use the following steps:


 * 1) Make a note of which section you are entering text in (Left, Center, or Right) on the Header or Footer tab.
 * 2) Click a different Alignment tab (that is, Left, Center, or Right).
 * 3) Click the tab you noted in step 1 (Left, Center, or Right).

You should now be able to enter the desired uppercase letter in the header or footer.
