Are you typing something into a cell?

Can you try a simple test:
xyz(alt-enter)abc

I've never seen a macro that does anything run while I'm editting a cell--so I
don't think it would be disabled by a macro.

How about the enter key--could it be stuck?

I hate suggesting this, but does it work after you reboot?

Any chance you have one of those expensive keyboards that can be programmed to
do lots of stuff?

Thank you, Dave; Logical guess; no luck. All the other "alt" functions still
work, in Excel and elsewhere.

I was wondering if maybe there is a "enable / disable" function somewhere,
but I can't find anything.

Normally, you can force a line break in a cell in Excel just by hitting 'alt
enter'. For some reason, this doesn't work in my copy of Excel 2003
(11.8012.6568, SP2). It just does nothing, as though I never hit the keys.
Everything else seems to work fine.

Any ideas?
