MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Start the Microsoft Productivity Pack for Windows.

  2. Choose the Tutorial button.

  3. Choose the Working With Applications button.

  4. Choose the Sharing Information Between Documents button.

  5. Choose the Go To button and then choose the Next Section button. Note that Notepad opens in the background and displays the SPEECH.TXT file.

  6. Choose the Go To button and then choose Next Section. Note that Cardfile opens in the background and displays the ADDRESS.CRD file, the Cleopatra-like image is in the foreground, and that Notepad is minimized to an icon. If you click the Notepad icon, you receive a message stating: 

          Click the Next button [->] to go on, or click
      the Go To button to see the Go To menu.

Expected Behavior

When you choose the Next Section button in step 6, you expect Notepad and Cardfile to be tiled in the background with the Cleopatra-like image in the foreground. Two buttons, Go To and [->], should be available. When you choose the [->] button, the tutorial should continue.
