Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q117659

The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 6.0, 6.0.1

## SYMPTOMS

The shortcut keys for some characters are not shown in the Insert Symbol dialog box.

For example, no shortcut keys are shown for characters whose shortcuts are obvious--such as A-Z, punctuation, and numbers. Also, shortcut keys are not shown for some accented characters (for example, characters that contain an umlaut, acute accent, grave accent, circumflex, or tilde).

## RESOLUTION

Use Apple's Key Caps feature (under the Apple menu) to display the keystrokes for all characters.
