Hello,

I am using Excel as a genealogical database for old church records in
Ireland. Column headings are
Year,Month, Childs Names, Fathers First Name, Fathers Last Name,Mothers
First Name, Mothers Last Name, Residence, Sponsor First Name, Sponsor Last
Name, Notes, Source.

The records that I get the info from are very old and difficult to read, so
its nessasary to use the filters to check names against each other. I use the
filters a great deal.

Is it possible, when I am done filtering a column, to change the 'home' to
(all) instead of it automatically returning to sort ascending?

Are there any hotkeys I can use to activate a column to filter or unfilter
instead of selecting the arrow at the head of the column?

Thanks for the help,
