Word2K3: Home Key Fails

[bonehead]

XP sp2, Office Pro 2K3, MS Natural Keyboard Pro, Intellitype Pro 5.2.

In Word, pressing the Home key does not return the cursor to the
beginning of the current line. In fact it does nothing.

In addition, pressing Ctrl+Home does not return the cursor to the top of
the document, instead it raises the Find and Replace dialog.

These keystrokes function properly in Notepad and Excel. In fact I am
unable to duplicate these errors in any other application.

Suggestions?

Open Tools, Option, and select the General tab: clear the check boxes for
the two WordPerfect options.

Thanks! It worked. I'll have to remember to check this on all the other
machines when I deploy Office 2K3.

Yes. The WP options are related to an ancient DOS version of WP and really
have little relevance to current users!
