In Office 2000 applications, the shortcut keys in dialog boxes are keyboard-specific. Therefore, shortcut keys do not work when the keyboard layout (language) differs from the user interface language.

When you use shortcut keys within dialog boxes in Office 2000 applications, ensure that your keyboard layout (language) matches the language of the user interface.
For example, if you are working in a Hebrew user interface, you need to switch your keyboard to Hebrew so that the shortcut keys in a dialog box work properly.
You can rotate through all your available keyboard layouts (languages) by pressing LEFT ALT+SHIFT.

With shortcut keys, you can perform actions using the keyboard alone. Shortcut keys are defined by the underline found under certain characters in the user interface. An example of a shortcut key is File in the menu bar at the top of the Word window. Pressing ALT+F opens the File menu.
