Help! - Control -Alt- arrow keys not working to select multiple cells
I’m on a surface pro and the control alt arrow key combination has randomly stopped working to select multiple rows and columns- Does anyone know the fix for this?
Unfortunately for whatever reason I’m not getting any option to disable those add-ons. It will show me what is disabled and what’s not but there is not an option to disable. I even had a friend who does IT look at that screenshot as I can’t post it here and they were puzzled by why I didn’t have an option to disable any ad ins. My guess is that’s going to be an administrative setting issue. Our company IT team is on vacation so at some point hopefully I’ll be able to get them to take a look at it.
I'm talking about the dialog that comes up when you click:
- File, Options, Add-ins tab
- Click Drop-down near bottom, select COM add-ins
- CLick Go... button.
- File, Options, Add-ins tab
- Click Drop-down near bottom, select COM add-ins
- CLick Go... button.
- Ok tried that- I disabled one by one and still no luck.
I’m wondering if a system restore might work- Does it work if you start Excel in safe mode (hold donw control key while Excel starts)?
- Ok I figured it out- below is the fix :
1. Options
2. Advanced
3. Scroll all the way down
4. Look for lotus compatibility
5. Uncheck all boxes
Somehow one of my downloads decided to check these boxes which messed up my shortcut keys
