Shortcut Shift + F2 for MS Access doesn't work

I started to learn MS Access.

On a Youtube video they said that when you use the shortcut Shift + F2 you get a zoom window which is interesting when you want to type a long text. When I try this shortcut it activates "airplane mode". That is the standard shortcut on my keybord.

I searched on Google and Youtube for a solution, but I can't find it. How can I use the Access shortcuts for Access 2019?

I read that the Access shortcuts should work when you have a subscription for Office. I have a subscription for Office 365 but it just doesn't work. None of the F-functions work in Access.

Normally I should get the help menu by pressing F1, but when I press F1 my laptop goes into "sleeping mode". What can I do?


Solution 1:

When I try Shift + F2 it activates "airplane mode" [and] when I press F1 my laptop goes into "sleeping mode".

While admittedly a bit of a guess (as you don't mention the model of laptop in your question), it sounds like the manufacturer may have chosen to hijack at least some of the default F-keys for other functions related to the laptop. In cases like this, there is often a special key (perhaps marked as Fn) that will allow "normal" operations of these keys. So Shift + F2 might become e.g. Shift + Fn + F2, while F1 might become Fn + F1.
