/ is acting like the Alt key in Excel - SOLVED

[Darren Bartrup]

I've no idea what combination of keys I hit to do this, but when I hit the / key it's highlighting the 'File' menu - working as though I pressed Alt.

Unlike Alt though, it doesn't un-highlight it if I press / again.

It only does it in Excel - Word works fine, as does notepad and obviously I can enter it on here to.

I've tried rebooting, but it's still there.

Any ideas please??????

Darren.

Hi

Tools>Options>Transition tab and unselect Transition Navigation Keys

Choose Tolls>Options>Transition Tab. Clear the / from the "Microsoft Excel menu key:" dialog.

BTW, this is a default setting included in Excel to help former Lotus 123 users easily adapt to Excel.

I didn't know you could do that.

Thanks for the tip Richard.
Unfortunately - Transition Navigation Keys isn't selected.

I can change the key that's doing it from there, but I can't turn it off

I've tried ticking it, pressing ok, going back in unticking (is that a word?) it but it's still doing it.



Ok, got it now. Thanks Lenze. I didn't take the / bit out.
