I agree with Biff your keyboard. Right Alt key works fine for me in XL2003

Hi!

Both ALT keys work for me using Excel 2002. Can't imagine MS would change
this, so you probably have a bad right ALT key on your keyboard.

The right 'Alt' key does not work in Excel 2003. The key plus the <enter
key
provides a paragraph break in a cell of text. When I discovered the
problem
at work, I had to have MS Office re-installed (a few times!), but is not
my
preferred option at home.
