I'm using XP office 2002. All of a sudden in excel only when I right click
a
cell or anything for that matter the normal drop down list that has all
the
shortcuts is no longer working. I must have a setting that is off and I
can't
figure it out. Now anywhere else within any other program this function
works
fine with no problems, so i must be in excel. Any ideas? Please help.
thanks
