OFF: "Snap To" Feature Doesn't Work with Mouse Driver 9.x

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Office for Windows 95, version 7.0
• Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0
• Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0
• Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Mouse driver version 9.x with some Microsoft Office applications, the Snap-to feature may not work.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Snap-to feature in the Microsoft Mouse driver versions 9.x is not supported in some of the dialog boxes in the applications listed above. For example, when you click Options on the Tools menu, the mouse pointer does not jump to the default button (the OK button).

When you use the Snap-to feature with the Microsoft Mouse driver version 9.x under Windows 3.x, your mouse pointer jumps to the default button when you open a dialog box.

Note that the Snap-to feature does work in the New dialog box (File menu) and the Properties dialog box (File menu) in the Microsoft Office applications. Additionally, this feature also works in other Windows applications, such as WordPad.

MORE INFORMATION

If you run the Setup program for the Mouse driver version 9.01, you receive an error message indicating that because of the changes in Windows, the Microsoft Mouse driver version 9.01 installation program may not work under Windows 95.
