Nope, did what was recommended and it still is giving me the decimal point only after it’s pushed twice….

It’s not a restart type problem, as it has been consistent any time I used the form over the last umpteen months.

It isn’t anything I have attached as a keyboard command, but that doesn’t mean someone else hasn’t who used the computer before I started here. How do I check this?

For what it is worth I have a Gateway E-4200 with a Gateway 2000 keyboard. Could it be a hardware thing?

Could it be something set in the default for the table or cell? How do I check that? (Microsoft help seems to have an aversion to calling anything “default.”)

Since it works fine on your systems it must come from somewhere outside that particular document. I just checked Word and indeed it happens in a regular word document also, not just in the template. Ack!

I don’t get it in Outlook, Access, or in our DOS-based online catalog, and any other programs I use so seldom I really don’t know. (I only just now found out that it does it in all Word, not just this particular form, by trying it.)

okay, once more I will try attaching the file — if it doesn’t work this time, I need someone to walk me thru how to attach a file….

I think it is just a text box, but I don’t actually know. I am (hopefully) attaching the file so you can see it; this is the original blank file that I fill in. If you want a partially filled one I can send that too.

It is not simply scrolling off the right. If I continue typing the info shows up, and it just skips the decimal point. It’s highly annoying!
