Known Issues

QuicKeys cannot record or playback from the Start Menu in Windows 98 or any machine with Internet Explorer 4.0 with the Shell Update installed.

Browsing for menu items in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook 98 and some versions of Internet Explorer does not work using the Select Menu Action, but can be recorded and played back successfully using standard sequence recording.

Mouse clicks and keystrokes do not get converted to Select Menu Actions when recording in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook 98 and some versions of Internet Explorer. However, these items will play back correctly.

The Microsoft Office Assistant must be disabled when recording a sequence which involves switching to or from a Microsoft Office program.

If you record a sequence in Microsoft Word or Excel which involves menu items, do not change the zoom state of the document window after recording. Changing the zoom state shifts the menus which will cause the sequence to fail on playback.

When using a Type Text Action to enter a large amount of text into Microsoft Word, you may experience a delay before the text appears on the screen. Word does not display the text until the Type Text Action is completed.

Selections copied from Microsoft Office and other OLE Server applications will be displayed in the QuicKeys Clipbook as thumbnails. These selections will paste properly.

For maximum performance and reliability, use a Clipbook Action instead of a Type Text Action when pasting large amounts of text (over 400 characters).

The Special Characters Action dialog may display several rectangular boxes instead of characters if the current system font does not support these characters.

Non-32bit applications cannot be scoped under Windows NT 4.0.

Programs that use command line parameters to launch will not show up in the program lists in QuicKeys. Use the "Browse" option to select these programs.

The "Up One Folder" Change Folder Action is designed to work only in open and save dialogs. It will not work in Explorer views.

During Type Text and Menu Select Actions, the mouse cursor will not move until the Action has completed.

If the mouse cursor does not move after completion or you need to abort the Action, press "Control + Esc".

To ensure that all Actions are captured when recording a sequence, wait for the recording palette or the blinking microphone icon in the taskbar to appear before performing the steps to record.

For best results, restart your computer before reinstalling QuicKeys.

Using Alt key combinations to trigger Advanced Text Tool Actions or Copy selection to Clipbook Actions is not recommended.

If you are using Adobe products, avoid using "Shift + Alphanumeric" hot keys to trigger Type Text Actions.

If you are using Adobe products, avoid using "Alt + Alphanumeric" hot keys to trigger Menu Select Actions.

----------

Technical Notes

QuicKeys Actions are preserved after performing an uninstall. If QuicKeys is reinstalled, the Actions previously created will be available. To completely remove QuicKeys, delete all Actions from the QuicKeys Editor prior to uninstalling QuicKeys.

QuicKeys incorporates compression code from the Info-ZIP group. There are no extra charges or costs due to the use of this code, and the original compression sources are freely available from http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/.
