CTRL Spacebar no longer works
Hi guys,
I have a long history working with Excel and I have always relied on the keyboard shortcuts to zip through my heavy spreadsheet work. For some reason that I cannot fathom, the keyboard shortcut for highlight column, CTRL-Spacebar, no longer works. The shortcut for highlight row (SHIFT-Spacebar) works just fine. I have trawled the web for answers to my queries and the closest "I Don't Know" answer is he http://groups.google.com.my/group/mi...f93f8e43915e66 I have tried using the CTRL-Spacebar shortcut in safe mode but it is still not functioning. Do any of you know of any reasons why this should be happening? The closest answer I can think of is that another program is intercepting the CTRL-Spacebar keystrokes. However, I can't remember installing anything recently other than XP Service Pack 3. All help is definitely appreciated! PS: My Excel version is 2003 |

Do you have one of those programmable keyboards? Maybe it's been programmed to
do something different when ctrl-spacebar is hit??? And a silly guess... Do you use multiple monitors?

Hi Dave,
Nope, not using any programmable keyboards. Just using my Lenovo thinkpad. And neither am I using multiple monitors. I've been given suggestions that it's the language bar and that I may also need to unregister Excel from the registry. Tried these and nothing. Argh!

I don't have another suggestion.
Maybe you could ask in a Lenovo forum to find out if it's related to the thinkpad??? Demosthenes wrote: Hi Dave, Nope, not using any programmable keyboards. Just using my Lenovo thinkpad.
