SYMPTOMS

When running Aldus PageMaker version 4.0 under Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1, the F6, F7, and F8 function keys do not work as they did under Windows 3.0.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem you may need to use the following equivalent combination keys:

   Function Key    Combination Keys        Function
   ------------    -----------------       --------

   F6              CTRL+SHIFT+B            Bold
   F7              CTRL+SHIFT+I            Italic
   F8              CTRL+SHIFT+U            Underline

For example, to type in bold, press CTRL+SHIFT+B.
