Is this normal for Excel shortcuts win 10 O 365
- Jul 18, 2021
It's not Excel, it's your keyboard.
Look for the Fn key - usually between the left Ctrl key and the Windows key.
You have two options:
1) Press Fn+function key to access the Excel/Visual Basic functionality.
2) "Lock" the Fn key. This is done by pressing Fn+the lock key. The lock key varies between keyboards; it usually has either a lock symbol on it or the text 'Fn lock'. On my keyboard it is the Esc key, so I can press Fn+Esc to "lock" the Fn key. After that, F1, F2 etc. will act as expected in Excel.
Here you'll find links to most keyboard shortcut articles for apps for Office.
I would be happy to know if I could help.
