= SUMMARY =

If you are using Word Version 4.00 on the IBM PS/2 Model 25 with a Model “M” keyboard (numeric keypad is not separate from alphanumeric keys), you cannot expand all heading levels in Outline Edit or Outline Organize mode by pressing keypad * (asterisk) or the PRINT SCREEN key. This is due to the position of the numeric keypad, which is different from a standard 101- or 84-key keyboard.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To work around this problem, perform the following commands:


 * 1) In Outline Edit mode, select the heading levels that you want to expand.
 * 2) Press SHIFT+SCROLL LOCK (this turns on NUM LOCK).
 * 3) Press CTRL+= (the equal sign). With NUM LOCK on, this accesses the numeric keypad PLUS key).
 * 4) Choose 7 (maximum heading levels) as the expansion number.
 * 5) Turn off NUM LOCK by pressing SHIFT+SCROLL LOCK.
 * 6) To expand the body text, press SHIFT+ALT+7.
 * 7) Press SHIFT+F5 to return to Outline Edit mode.

Note: If you are using Word Version 5.00, you will not experience this problem.
