On my Mac if I hit the down arrow key the list drops down with the match, if any, selected and the match is stored in the object.
On my PC if I hit the down arrow key the list does NOT drop down, and if a match exists the next item in the list is stored in the object. The only way I can get the drop down list is to click it and what’s up with the wrong item getting selected. Is this normal behavior on the PC or am I missing something? v16 R5 John > On Nov 8, 2017, at 2:03 PM, John Baughman <john...@hawaii.rr.com> wrote: > > Of course.
