In my version of Word (97 SR-1 under Win98), the "Y" in "Yes" and the
"N" in "No" are underlined, which indicates that they can be typed
along with ALT to activate those buttons.
The "bare letter" part of this is something I'd never noticed, though.
I would imagine that only works if no input fields are available or
selected.
