-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5 Service Pack 1 
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========


Keyboard shortcuts, such as Alt+K which performs the Check Name function in the
Outlook Client, are not supported in the Outlook Web Access Client.

CAUSE
=====

This is by design. Most JavaScript-aware browsers may be used as Outlook Web
Access Clients. Keyboard shortcuts are difficult to implement because they may
conflict with an existing browser's keyboard shortcut.
