Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+F6 still not working in Excel 2013?

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. I just switched to Office Home & Business 2013 (32-bit), and I discovered that ctrl+tab behavior in Excel 2013 is incredibly broken.
If you are using any other programs concurrently with Excel, then it makes switching tasks through ctrl+tab impossible. Switching workbooks in this way has unpredictable behavior: often, Excel will switch to a workbook that is hidden behind other windows
(fails to foreground the window correctly). Even when it appears to be switching appropriately between windows, the order of switching is wrong: rather than cycling through all windows, it seems to switch between workbooks somewhat randomly.

There does not appear to be any solution to this issue so far. I have attempted to repair my installation of Microsoft Office, but it did not correct the problem.

Hi Dlup12345,
Based on my testes with local environment (Windows 8.1 and Excel 2013:15.0.4675.1000), the two Keyboard shortcuts worked as expected. In my view, this issue might be occur with Keyboard shortcuts, because you said the issue occurred intermittently. If we
only open multiple Excel files without other program, the shortcuts should worked fine. Please check if other program affected Excel shortcuts.
If you have any update, please feel free let us know.

It's recommended to download and install

  • Regarding ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab

    hi,
    i have a JFrame inside which i have a JInternalFrame and this contains 4 JPanels
    which have components now,
    when i press ctrl-tab from first panel's component the focus should move to
    first component of next panel same from other panels and ctrl-shift-tab - reverse
    how can i achive it ?
    i extended FocusManager and by overriding processKeyEvent() i was able achieve what a wanted
    but i have many JInternalFrames which are entirely diffenent from each other
    so had to have different FocusManagers .
    after setting new focusmanager the Mnemonic of JFrame were not working .
    so i need any work arounds for the above problem.
    desperately need help.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    It should work. In the case, don't minimize the Book3.xlsx's window. Then you should be able to use Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+F6 to switch between the book1,2 and 3.
    Because Excel 2013 move to a single document interface, so there is no workbook title bar minimize, maximize, and close buttons. When you minimize the Book3's window in Excel 2013, the action will be treated as you have used the workbook title
    bar minimize button to minimize the workbook.  
    In Excel 2010, the buttons can be found here:
    If you use the workbook title bar minimize button in Excel 2010 instance, the same behavior can be reproduced.
    Best regards,

  • I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    Hi troy157,
    I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

    Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
    If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
    1. Don't apply the update.
    2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

  • Tab and control buttons do not work in Firefox (they work in other browsers) AND I switched to a new keyboard.

    The tab and control buttons are not working the Firefox browser (My browser is up-to-date). The buttons work in IE and Chrome, however, before I realized that, I even switched out my keyboard to a brand new one hoping it would solve the issue.

    Thank you--there were a few random extensions I had not added (spyware, maybe?). Once I removed those the issue was fixed!

    Can someone help? Do I need to wait for another update?
    Thanks

    This is my problem that has to originate from the update.  So glad that I did not purchase a MacBook!  Apple products/apps are appearing to be not different from Windows products.
    I have deleted and reinstalled from the device and desktop, resets, etc.  When I uninstalled and reinstalled while connected to my desktop, the older version of pages was installed.  I was able to see all of my files that were saved to the cloud.  I was forced to update again to access any of the saved files.  Once updated again, I could no longer open pages.  It began, to open and abruptly shut down.

  • I reset it and it is still not working

    I reset all settings and it is still not working. My FaceTime that is. Also I have the latest update. That is when all my problems began.

    1. Make sure you are using the latest software
    2. Sign out, reboot and sign in again
    3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    4. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
    5. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.
