Hi! I also experience the same thing. Instead of copy, paste, etc, my "record macro" produces vba that says "delete". I don't see the feedback button in my excel 2016. What can I do to correct it? Thank you!

    it's now resolved via simple method below

     

    1. uninstall Office (don't borthered with online repair)

    2. reboot computer

    3. install office with new setup file

      Hi Tai,

       

      I'm having the same trouble with my new Thinkpad, and even after reinstalling Office, I'm getting the same errors with Excel macros.  Any other suggestions?

    Hi Arianne,

     

    There is a ribbon tab called Help!

    If you don't find it, right-click the ribbon and select Customize the Ribbon, then find the Help checkbox, and check it.

    If you didn't find it, then it's not available in your version of Excel, in this case, you can ask this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_excel which is the best place to get support.
