I'm running into an issue where I can't seem to figure out how to rename a shape within Excel for Mac. I am trying to use the Name Box and am hitting the ENTER key to confirm the name change, but it doesn't work!!! Anyone know how to accomplish this (seemingly) simple task?

Thanks!

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
I came to the conclusion that the Developers just left this feature out of Excel for Mac (maybe they didn't realize they left it out?). Anyways, I submitted a request for this ability on Excel Uservoice. You can upvote it got give it higher priority/visibility on the Developers "to do" list.

Here's the request post
