KeyTips do not appear when you press the ALT key in a 2007 Office program

SYMPTOMS

When you press one of the ALT keys in a 2007 Microsoft Office program, the KeyTips do not appear on the Ribbon.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if another program, such as a screen reader, is installed that intercepts keystrokes and assigns new functionality to the ALT keys. This issue may be a compatibility issue with the installed program and the 2007 Office programs.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, contact the vendor of the installed program. For information about your hardware manufacturer, visit the following Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors/en-us (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors/en-us)

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
