Quark Forums

When I try to use the numbers pad on my keyboard (Mac), Quark doesn't accept the input in text boxes or in fileds, like the view percentage at the bottom left of a page window. Sometimes one or two of the numbers will show up. For example, I prefer to use the numbers pad to enter phone numbers, but of the 7 numbers, only a couple of them actually show up. Is this a common problem? Is there a solution?

 Thanks!

 It is more than likely that you have these numbers set as Shortcuts for your style sheets. I see lots of designers that set them like this and I don't care for it any more than you do.

hope this helps! 

Unbelieveable! It is the shortcut thing -- thanks so much for the help. It's a new client and it just didn't occur to me to check their styles -- sure enough that was the problem.

Nice assist Michel. Didn't even think about that.... 

  Here we go again!

Like I said: Been there, done that, threw the t-shirt away!

I didn't get a t-shirt! [:'(]

  ... win some, lose some.

 ... and it's always the clients who you least expect to use Style Sheets that actually do!

I've never had a client do that before, and I've never used those keys for shortcuts, so I didn't even know it would screw up the keyboard :-)

Thanks, again!
