Control key Issue Excel 03
 

Hi,
I've been experiencing an issue in Excel when I hold down the control key to
add non contiguous cells to get a task bar SUM, the most cells I can add are
two or three, I don't think its a keyboard issue because control works for
other things.

There are two CTRL keys on a standatd keyboard. Do you experience this with
both keys?

What happens if you hit SHIFT + F8 then select no-contiguous cells without using
the CTRL key?

Can you add more than two or three?

Yes with both, but sometimes it works and others it doesn't. I thought it was
a sticky key, but it happens with both Ctrl keys.
The Shift+F8 works, but I am so accustomed to using the Ctrl + mouse feature.

I really don't think it is an Excel issue but have no other suggestions except
try another keyboard.
