Hi,

 

Yes all my keyboard keys works including the arrows key.

For instance even the shortcut ctrl + arrow to go directly at the end works.

only the ctrl + shift + up/down doesn't works

With the permission of all involved and your understanding,

I suspect that the "permanent shift key" (the one via Shift) is not permanently switched on.

 

so we go to the next step:

Tools - Options - Advanced - Lotus Compatibility -

Switch the checkbox Alternative movement keys activated.

There must be no tick, remove if there is a tick.

Maybe changed by mistake?

-------------------------

If it is not and the problem persists maybe connect an external keyboard and see if it works.

Could be a keyboard problem.

--------------------

If none of what has been described so far, call 911 and ask for a pizza for two.

For you and the technician you trust ... just kidding :)) ... think it will work.

 

I would be happy to know if I could help.

    Hi NikolinoDE,

     

    Thank you for your reply.

    I think that what you mean by "Switch the checkbox Alternative movement keys activated" on Tools - Options - Advanced - Lotus Compatibility - , is called "Transition Navigation Keys" and I've disable it (not ticked) as I mentioned in my post.

    And with that already done the problem still exist.

     

    Thanks,

    Edgar
