Unbind keybind for displaying ribbon shortcuts.

When pressing Shift+7 or / on my keypad in order to type / (as seen in the above row) my Excel displays the ribbon shortcuts. (Like using Alt.) If i press it again it wont disappear. How can i unbind it in order to be able to type / again?  Thank you for the help!

    Select File > Options.

    Select Advanced in the navigation pane on the left.

    Scroll all the way down.

    Under "Lotus compatibility", clear the box "Microsoft Excel menu key".

    Click OK.

  • I have also noticed that "/" has just started to brings up the shortcut menu, in much the same way as holding the Alt key. Since I find the effort to remember keyboard shortcuts outweighs their value, this is something of a nuisance.
