How can I disable Help in Excel (especially the <F1 key)?
I use the <F2 key constantly to enter the edit mode and sometimes I
accidentally hit the <F1 instead, starting Excel's help feature. Can I make it stop? |

How can I disable Help in Excel (especially the <F1 key)?
Chip Pearson says that he actually "fixed" his keyboard by taking that key off.
Others say that they left the key, but removed the spring underneath. But you could use a couple of macros (one to disable and one to enable): Option Explicit Sub disableF1() Application.OnKey "{f1}", "" End Sub This would toggle it back to normal. Sub enableF1() Application.OnKey "{f1}" End Sub If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm sonic_d_hog wrote: I use the <F2 key constantly to enter the edit mode and sometimes I accidentally hit the <F1 instead, starting Excel's help feature.
