The F2 key will cause Excel to enter Edit mode. If the "Edit In Cell"
option is enabled, focus will be in the edit mode of the cell. If
"Edit In Cell" is not enabled, focus goes to the formula bar. For your
other questions, you can only address them with code. To set focus in
the Name dialog, paste the following in a code module:


Public Declare Function SetFocus Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As
Long
Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _
(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As
Long
Public Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias
"FindWindowExA" _
(ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, _
ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long

Sub SetFocusNameBox()
Dim Res As Long
Res = SetFocus( _
FindWindowEx( _
FindWindowEx( _
FindWindow("XLMAIN", Application.Caption) _
, 0, "EXCEL;", vbNullString) _
, 0, "combobox", vbNullString))
End Sub



To rename a sheet, use

Sub RenameWorksheet()
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=889).Execu te
End Suib

You can assign SetFocusNameBox and RenameWorskheet to the shortcut
keys of your choice.

Sir,

Please tell where do I paste these in a code module for setting focus on the
Name box and for renaming worksheet. Also tell how to create shortcut for
these.

Thanks in advance.
