The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Bookshelf 1996-97 for Windows 
- Microsoft Bookshelf for Windows 1995 edition 
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Various QuickShelf buttons can be activated using shortcut keys. However, if the
F10 function key is selected, nothing occurs in the QuickShelf Keys dialog.

NOTE: QuickShelf Keys are available in the 16-bit edition of Bookshelf only. They
are not available when running on Windows 95 or Windows NT.


CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design. The F10 function key is reserved for activating
menus in Windows.

RESOLUTION
==========

When you define the QuickShelf Keys, do not use the F10 function key. For a
complete list of keystrokes not supported, please see QuickShelf Help.
