The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Draw version 1.0

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Draw version 1.0, the accelerator keys for the Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste commands only work when you are editing objects. The accelerator keys are consistent with the standard accelerator keys used when editing on the Macintosh. These are not the same accelerator keys used to perform the same functions in other Windows applications.

When editing text, the accelerator keys for Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste are the same keys used in other Windows applications.

The following chart lists the various accelerator keys: 

Command        Editing Objects for        Editing Text for Draw &
               Draw & the Macintosh       Other Windows Applications
--------       --------------------       --------------------------

Undo                  CTRL+Z                ALT+BACKSPACE
Cut                   CTRL+X                SHIFT+DEL
Copy                  CTRL+C                CTRL+INS
Paste                 CTRL+V                SHIFT+INS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Draw version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
