Warning Messages
The following table lists the messages that appear if the keys reserved for iNEWS system or
Windows-based functions are redefined.
Testing the Keyboard
After you create a keyboard story, you should always test the macros in it to make certain that it
works the way you intended.
To test the keyboard:
1. After you finish a macro, save the keyboard.
2. Verify that the keyboard checker lists no errors.
3. Log out of iNEWS and log back in; otherwise, the keyboard will not be available.
