Default F1 and F2 keys desactivated

My F1, F2 and other F functions keys are desactivated. Could you tell me how
to activate them again.

Hi,

Is that in all applications or just Excel?

As a first step I'd borrow a keyboard from another workstation and see if
that fixes the problem

You don't happen to have a keyboard with an F Lock key? One where the function keys have 2 meanings, with a description on the key
and an F1 etc indication

On many newer keyboards, the F keys do double duty. Put the F-Lock switch on
and you get the standard F-key behavior. Turn the F-Key switch off and the
keys are redefined (badly so, in my opinion) to other functions. The F-Lock
key is probably just to the right of your F12 key and it probably toggles an
LED on the keyboard on and off indicating status.

Indeed, I have 2 keyboards (AZERTY and QWERT), and the one I do not use under
my screen had the F Mode button pushed by mistake this morning.

My appologies
