Can some one help me out with an issue I recently ran into with excel. I downloaded google toolbar and CTRL + Spacebar stopped working to select columns in excel. I unistalled the toolbar and the problem still presists. However I can select columns using the following sequence: RightCTRL + Spacebar, release spacebar hit LeftCTRL, Release RightCTRl then space bar. I feel like something else got set to CTRL + Spacesbar command, I just don't know what or how to switch it back. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I have an HP Compaq 8510p Laptob with a wireless Logitach keyboard and have a docking station for an additional monitor. I tried using both the wireless keyboard and the laptop keypad neither work so I don't think it is an issue with the keyboard itself.

which version of excel you are using?

Excel 2003 Users:

-Close all Excel applications
-Reboot and then run the “All in Cleaner” which deletes the temporary files. If there is no all in cleaner is available, then deletes temporary files manually. Do not open Excel or any Office program until instructed..
Do a repair of Excel:
-Open Excel
-Select Help, Detect and Repair.
A dialog will appear with an option to restore your shortcuts. Make certain it is checked.
-Click the start button on this dialog. Even though repair may report that no problems were found, it will find and fix some problems (we've seen it happen).

Do a Repair of Excel:
-Re-open Excel for the first time
-Click the Office Button, Excel Options, and Resources again
To the right of "run Microsoft Office Diagnostics", click the button "Diagnose".
-If Office advises that Diagnostics were recently run, click the button "Run Diagnostics Again". Installing any service pack or upgrade almost always causes bugs in Office. Even though Diagnostics may report that no problems were found, it will find and fix some problems (we've seen it happen).
If a description of why you should run Diagnostics appears, click the Continue button
-Close the Resources dialog and Excel as soon as a Microsoft Office Diagnostics screen appears. This will not close the Diagnostics screen. Then click the Run Diagnostics button. If a choice of diagnostics to be run is given, select all of them.

all the best
