WD: Word Beeps Opening Shortcut Menu with Macro Recorder On

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
• Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
• Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.1a
• Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you start the macro recorder and then try to open a shortcut menu by clicking the right mouse button (or by holding down CONTROL and clicking the mouse button on the Macintosh), Microsoft Word beeps and nothing happens.

MORE INFORMATION

Shortcut menus are context-sensitive, which means that Word determines which menu to open based on the selection you click with the mouse. While the macro recorder is running, you cannot use the mouse to move the insertion point or select text, so, by design, you cannot open a shortcut menu that is based on a mouse selection.

NOTE: When you record a macro, you can still use the mouse to click menu commands or to scroll with the scroll bars.
