Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. I've just opened many different attachments - Word, graphics, etc. - from within messages, and have not lost keyboard control or shortcuts. So either you're seeing a different problem, or maybe it just applies to attachments for specific applications. see what you can find out and replicate at will. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
