Keyboard problems
Hi everyone,
I've just purchased a new wireless keyboard Logitech MX5000 wicked keyboard but has a problem that i need help with. Its the function keys, they all have other function allocated to them, so for example pressing F4 doesn't undo and more irritatingly it doesn't toggle the $ in the formulas, instead it opens Access. F5 does undo and F6 does Redo. Alt F11 doesn't open VBE it open control panel. The keyboard does come with a utility Set Point that allows you to redifine the keys but there is no sort of use application default short-cuts. Its is really bothersome in Excel. I've tried looking at the Logitech web site but to no avail, does anyone else use this keyboard or similar logitech keyboard and know a way round. All help is appreciated -- _______________________ Naz, London |

All help is appreciated -- _______________________ Naz, London Right out of the box, a regular keyboard's function keys are not set up for specific program shortcuts, like Excel's. Rather, Excel sees a "normal" F4 signal, and translates it to mean something. So, you need to find a way to make your keyboard's function keys revert to the default settings like any other keyboard. I'd be surprised if this information was not in the instruction manual or online help file. |
