Arrow keys in Excel

I'm using a MAC OS X computer.  In Excel I can't move the arrow keys through the document.  Did I lock the scroll button?

You are most welcome
Feel free to ask me anything that may come up, I would rate myself a 7/10 on a the tecnical side of mac. 9/10 on all other apple products

    Hi,
    Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
    This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

  • Arrow keys stopped working in excel

    The arrow keys on the keyboard that came with my new iMac have suddenly stopped working in Excel for moving between cells.  They will only scroll the page up and down and left to right.  Surely I have just inadvertently changed some setting.  But, I have no idea how to change it back because I have no idea what I may have changed!  Help!

    Eric!!!!  I thought all this time that nobody answered my question.  And there it was, all the way back in October of 2011.  I guess I thought someone would knock on my door and tell me my question had been answered.
    Thinking all was for naught, I plugged in my PC keyboard and fixed the problem and then unplugged it.
    Anyway, the keystrokes you suggested work wonderfully AND I am awestruck by the link you suggested. I want you to know, I googled the problem and read everything I found and not one person ever mentioned the Mac keystrokes for accomplishing "F-14".
    You are the King.  Actually, if you can answer the question I just posted in Airport Express, I'll be your personal slave.  (It's called, "Murder on the Airport Express....")

  • Aluminium keyboard: arrow keys stuck in scroll mode while using excel?

    Posting this question for a colleague - he has a 24" iMac and is getting annoyed because the arrow keys no longer move from cell to cell while using Excel but rather they scroll the page. I took a quick look at his keyboard hoping to quickly solve the problem by finding some sort of lock key that was accidently pressed...but no joy. Anyone have thoughts on what's causing this sudden change in behaviour?
    tia,

    I believe Shift-F14 is the keyboard combination to enable/disable scroll lock.

  • Excel arrow keys stop working (NOT SCROLL LOCK)

    Excel Office Pro Plus 2013 on windows 7 64 bit.
    This has happened since I loaded it.. older excel never has this issue on same host.
    When I am working in a spreadsheet and moving around with arrow keys.. they stop working randomly.
    It is NOT scroll lock... I can turn scroll lock on and off no effect.
    IF I change to another tab then back to the same tab .. the arrow keys work again!!!
    This happens in many spreadsheets... seems like the larger they are the worse it it.. VERY annoying and makes it unusable!!
    I have all the latest patches and have rebooted .. this has been going on since I loaded excel.. I was hoping a patch would fix it.. 
    but it keeps happening randomly... 
    ANY ideas?

  • Excel Question - Arrow Keys

    So I just installed Microsoft Excel and something is going on with my arrows keys. I have a keyboard with the numeric pad and when I use the 4 directional arrow keys it shifts the window browser over and doesn't move the selected cel. So for example if i'm on cel A1 and want to go to B1 I used to just hit the down arrow and it would go to B1. Now it stays on A1 but shifts the page down a bit. Any idea how to fix this? It's driving me nuts. Thanks.

    Hello
    I'm using Office 2004. I don't know what version your using, but I can't find options to change that normal function. Your probably using a later version than me.
    Go to your preferences and see if there are any modifiers. Also, check under tools in the menu and you should see a customize menu to customize your keyboard.

  • Aluminum Keyboard Arrow Keys don't work in Excel?

    My new Power Mac G5 came with a USB aluminum keyboard. The arrow keys no longer work with Excel as they used to (they move the window rather than the selection). Is there a fix for this?

    Kenichi - THANK YOU. AND your memory is right on. I tried to search for Scroll Lock in Excel help and got nothing so tried your solution and it worked.
    Seasons greetings

  • Spurious characters with "arrow keys"

    When I hold down an arrow key, I get occasional unexpected characters inserted in the current document. This happens in MS Excel and in Delphi2006. Any ideas please?
    Thanks
    Jozef

    Hello,
    Thank you for your help, but it did not solve the problem. Actually I do not use arrow keys on numerical keyboard (as a part of alphanumerical keyboard)
    (7890)
    (uiop;)
    (jkl;)
    (m./)
    But I use just the arrow keys on the right-bottom side of keyboard, which do not depend on setting of FN10 (FN10 = Turns the cursor control overlay on or off).
    And for example, when I press and hold an arrow key - down, cursor moves down in documents line by line and after maybe 500 lines it insert a character "2" into a document and then cursor continues going down line by line in the document.
    Thanks anyway,
    Jozef

  • After installing Mavericks, my up arrow copies in excel

    After installing Mavericks, my up arrow copies in excel. While copying the cell, it will also speak the number or word int he cell. I went to system preferences/dictation & speech and changed Speak selected text when the key is pressed to F19. I even turned off speak selected text when the key is pressed and it still copies cells and reads the text or number it copied. If I highlight a word in MS Word, for example, and hit the up arrow, it will read what I have hightlighed. When I hit F19 (what I changed that feature to), it also reads what I have highlighted. I went into Excel & Word and there is no shortcut for just the up arrow.  Any idea how to turn my up key back into an up key?

    Have you done Help > Check for Updates from Excel's menu?

  • Arrow keys stop working?

    I've seen multiple posts recently about arrow keys stop working. This just happend to me however i found the solution.
    Hold down all four (4) arrow keys and a menu will pop up.
    Then select charcters by clicking (i believe) the right arrow.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a reason the arrow keys don't work with ipad dock

    Is there a reason that the arrow keys appear not to work with the ipad dock? I can understand if the citrix app needs an update (would be great to use with excel) but it also doesn't work with numbers the mac app. Is there a reason they are on the keyboard if they are not for use? Safari they don't do scrolling but really wanted it for use with spreadsheets. Can anyone tell me if I just need to switch on something in settings?

    Hello there,
    Not as such it is the iPad dock. It would be very handy for spread sheets.
    Cheers
