SYMPTOMS

When you use the Apple Adjustable Keyboard (Apple's ergonomic keyboard) with CAPS LOCK turned on, and you start Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word, the CAPS LOCK light on the keyboard is turned off, although CAPS LOCK is actually still on.

Note that this problem also occurs when you switch to either of the above applications from another application.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
