It's hard to explain, but I'll try. First, I'm in a french edition, so don't
sure if the names I'm using are correct !


When I open Excel and want to add a number in a cell, each time I'm doing
this, the cursor highlight directly the formula bar and a popup menu open
with "Copy, Cut, Paste, Cell format, ...)

I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium (x64 version), Office Home Edition. As a
possible problem... My keyboard is an "old" Logitech and doesn't have the
correct driver... BUT every other program (Word, OneNote, Outlook (bought the
standalone version) and other program) work as expected.

It sounds to me like the mouse keys are set opposite the way you want them.

Try this:

Start - Control Panel - Mouse - Switch the left and right mouse buttons.

Basil,

This sounds like a candidate for a reset of Excel. Try the stuff in "Excel acts generally
goofy" in the VFAQ (Very Frequently Asked Questions)
http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/vfaq.htm. Particularly the stuff about Start - Run excel
/regserver.

Hi,

Tried all from the list... but nothing is working... Seems like I will have
to uninstall and reinstall Office.

Thanks for your help and for the VFAQ !
