ZOOM malfunction

Hi Tech Community,

Every time I try to navigate a worksheet using the CTRL key, Excel resizes (SMALLER) the document to as much as 0%. Anyone else had this problem?

Navigation on the worksheet in general is malfunctioning.  I am not able to backspace when trying to save a file name.

Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

    Likely caused by the following:

    Scroll Wheel Zooming Instead of Navigating

    If Ctrl + Scroll Wheel is zooming instead of navigating, you may have accidentally enabled "Zoom on Roll with Intellimouse".

    Fix:

    Go to File > Options > Advanced

    Scroll down to the "Editing Options" section.

    Uncheck "Zoom on roll with Intellimouse"

    Click OK

     

    If the solutions don’t work, try:

    Try using a different mouse or disconnecting the mouse to see if the issue stops.

    Restarting Excel & Your Computer
    Updating Office (Go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now)
    Repairing Office (Control Panel > Programs > Microsoft 365 > Repair)
