I tried your recommendation and it does work when I use a keyboard shortcut -
but I find that when on a command bar, it is hit and miss. I think when the
command is clicked, the MS Word window might loose focus for a split second and
that is why there's a challenge.
However, I am attempting to use it in a terminal emulator (PCOMM) session and
your solution does the same as mine - i.e. it simply moves the cursor 4
characters to the right. I'm thinking that it might not be possible to do what
I'd like to do in a terminal emulator.
Thanks for your assistance.
Dave
