Default Help - Alt-E hotkey does not work in MSOffice apps, no prob in other apps

Hi all,

I'm using MSOffice 2003 and XP ProSP2 .

Problem:

In the Office applications all the hotkeys work correctly except Alt-E
(Edit). When this hotkey is used the Edit menu button appears 'depressed'
but the Edit pull down does not open up. After Alt-E, I have to use
Down-Arrow or Enter to get the menu to open.

In other applications (not Office) this is not an issue, in outlook express
for instance the alt-e hotkey works fine. I am so used to Word's Alt-E,
incombination with e, s, and f, that this really bugs me. Can anyone think
of a way for me to fix this?

Any help much appreciated!

best regards,

Bob
