New PC has Windows 8.1, Excel 2003 - redo no longer works

[Hsibbs]

Well Hello, it has been a while since I posted. I have searched the forum, but can't find an answer.

I don't use Excel as much as I used to (career change) just personal stuff now, and I am perfectly happy with Excel 2003 for what I do.

I now have a new laptop running windows 8.1, I was told my very old version of Office (2003) would not be compatible, but I have loaded it and Excel runs just fine EXCEPT the F4 button is no longer "redo", which was one of my most used shortcuts, even the icon on the tool bar is greyed out

Does anyone know if I can get my fav shortcut back?

Do you mean
Repeat the last Find action (same as Find Next). which is SHIFT+F4

Was your system customized to have F4 do a "redo"?

N.B. Excel's help

Redo actions that you undid
To redo an action that you undid, do one of the following:
• Click Redo on the Edit menu.
• Press CTRL+Y.
• Click Redo on the Standard toolbar.
• To redo several actions at once, click the arrow next to Redo , select the actions in the list that you want to redo, and then click the list.

• Press CTRL+Y.
