Why does the caps lock not work on the # like 9 = ( & 0 = )
I am entering a lot of data that has to have the ( sign and the ) sign, but
when I put it on CAPS LOCK it still enters the 9 or 0. Is there a way to temporarily lock them so I don't have to keep hitting the shift key? |

Because Caps Lock is just that, Capitals Lock. Is is NOT the same as the
Shift Key. tj wrote: I am entering a lot of data that has to have the ( sign and the ) sign, but when I put it on CAPS LOCK it still enters the 9 or 0. Is there a way to temporarily lock them so I don't have to keep hitting the shift key? |

I suppose one possibility would be to use the square brackets " [ and ] " and do a global change to " ( and ) ". -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Maybe you could remap (reassign) some keys
Here is one site that tells how http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...assignkey.html Here is another http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...6-252dfb7d8f9e Google 'keyboard reassign' for more best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "tj" wrote in message ...
