OFF2000: CD Key Overwritten After Pressing Backspace to Correct a Mistake

When you type your CD key in the Welcome to Microsoft Office 2000 dialog box, you may accidentally overwrite part of the CD key.

This problem may occur when you use BACKPSACE to correct a mistake while you type the CD key. When you use BACKSPACE to clear the contents of one of the CD Key boxes, the characters in the previous box may be selected. If you type the next characters in the CD key sequence, the cursor does not advance to the next box. Instead, the selected characters are overwritten.

Press TAB to advance the cursor to the next CD Key box.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
