FUNCTION KEYS

[Rianh]

I am using microsoft office 2007, i used to use the F8 key to highlight words
at a time, by pressing F8 and then the control and arrow key to the left,
right or up and down for solid block highlighting - i don't know what i have
done but it is not working now and also when i try to use Control and an
arrow key just to move cursor by a word it is not working - any ideas? Also
when I press F8 key now it jumps to a different programme on my computer?

It seems you have dual function F keys. Press the F-lock key.

I may be being dumb, but where is the F-lock key? now can't use cntl and R to
justify right

You'll need to look in your laptop's documentation, or ask the
manufacturer. This isn't a Word thing.

I think it's found only on laptops, but I could be wrong.

There will be such a key on all keyboards that have dual function f keys. It
is called F Lock on Microsoft keyboards, but could be called something else
on other keyboards - however the issue of the CTRL key could suggest
something different at play. Maybe Windows accessibilty options Sticky Keys?
