Alt+E No Longer Opens Edit menu
 

Hi,

Alt + F, etc. all work to open my menus, but Alt + E simply selects the Edit
menu, but doesn't open it.

Help!

If you have another option that uses the alt-e as the accelerator/shortcut key,
then each time you hit alt-e, you'll toggle between options.

So keep watching the skies, er, toolbars, and hit alt-e a few times and watch
gets selected.

You may want to hit alt-e, then enter to invoke that menu/option. It may help
you find the item with the duplicate accelerator key.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply. OK, I did what you said, and sure enough, it seems
to also be used to select a Text to Columns button I added to my toolbar.

How do I "reset" it so that it only open the Edit menu and no longer refers
to anything else?

Thanks!

You could remove the "text to columns..." icon from your toolbar <vbg.

Or you could do this:
Tools|Customize (just to see that dialog)
rightclick on the "Text to Columns..." icon
Change the name from:
T&ext to columns...
to
Text to columns...

The & is an indicator to use the next key as the accelerator key. You'd see the
e underlined in the caption.
