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.

  • Frame 7 question - arrow keys / mouse scroll wheel don't work

    I have FrameMaker version 7.0p579.
    I've not used FrameMaker for quite a while, but I know my arrow keys used to move graphic elements, but they don't now.  Perhaps it's because I now use USB mouse and keyboard?
    One other question -- was the upgrade from version 7.0 to 7.1 (or 7.n) a free upgrade?  If so, where can I get it?

    Hallo Framers,
    I have tried both FreeWheel and KatMouse for a few days.
    * Both work with Windows 7 (beta version which I happen to have at home) and XP; I have no access to Vista but I expect it is also OK.
    * KatMouse interferes with Firefox's "middle-click to open link in a new tab". However this can easily be disabled (Settings>WheelButton>NoneOfTheButtons)
    * Some graphic programs (CorelDraw for example) use the wheel for zooming; both interfere with this. However a single-click on the KatMouse icon disables/enables it.
    * FreeWheel is hard to find and it's not clear whether it's supported any more; KatMouse seems to be current.
    On balance I recommend (and myself use) KatMouse.

  • 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.

  • Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Please help!

    Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Only one pic shows up in the album view - I can't see any thumbnails. To see the other pics I have to use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. Please help!

    Depeding on your version of iPhoto: On the left (iPhoto 11) or right (earlier versions) of the lower frame of the iPhoto Window you'll see a slider. Drag it left.

  • I am having a problem moving across cells in Microsoft Excel. When I use the arrow keys, the sheet moves, instead of moving to the next cell. Would anyone have any thoughts on this, please?

    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.

  • 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?
    -Ken

  • Satellite - randomly the arrow keys, question mark key and z key will not work

    Sometime the arrow keys, question mark and z key work fine (like now) and sometimes they just don't work at all (like a minute ago).  I will just be typing and they will work and then just stop working, then work again.  They either all work or all do not work. This has been happening since about a week after I got the computer.  It is so annoying.  Can you please help me fix this problem?  I have a Satellite T135-S1309.
    Many thanks.

    Hi, 
    I've posted recently about keyboard problem, and have tried everything as everybody else, finally and oddly :-) the solution for my problem was to reconnect little flat cable that connects keyboard and MB :-D shown in step 10 on the following link:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-X205/take-apart-laptop-2.htm
    ..so maybe your keyboard somehow strangely detached itself from mother-board just a bit and started creating all sorts of strange problems as mine... one cable line was without contact because flat cable was not attached properly anymore and mentioned keys stop working... I have also downloaded keyboard tester software that helped me find all keys and combination of keys that stop working ... so guys, try that and good luck!    

  • Satellite C50-A-15Q - arrow, question mark key and z key are not working

    I have a Satellite Pro, C50-A-15Q. All keys were working fine yesterday, today I turn the laptop on and the arrow keys, question mark key and z key are all not responding. Any idea how I can fix this?
    I have tried turning the laptop off and on, hoping (naively) that this would fix, but to no avail.

    As Tom already wrote, it is not easy to say for sure if this malfunction is result of defective keyboard or maybe keyboard controller. In my opinion troublemaker is the keyboard itself.
    Have you maybe updated BIOS or done anything that could be responsible for this?
    I presume your notebook is pretty new model with valid warranty so best option for you is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • 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.

  • Left arrow key -- probably a stupid question.

    In some applications my left arrow key doesn't work. I've noticed it most in Word for mac, but I know it has happened elsewere, too. And in safari the left arrow key tabs often functions like tab. I'm new to Mac (and just getting used to fn + delete to delete forward). Is this another key combination thing I'm missing? I've discovered using Word that fn + <-- is "home," and that works just fine.
    Thanks!

    I have this exact same problem. Has anyone found a fix. I called Apple Care and they said it was not a hardware problem, as this left arrow key problem only happens in Word. They also could not find a fix to the problem and, of course, referred me to Microsoft. I had already spoken with Microsoft and they, of course, referred me to Apple. I am desperately trying to a fix, as I use Word to write upwards of 100 page reports and not being able to use the left arrow key is a nightmare.
    Please someone help.

  • Arrow key Photoshop default increment question

    Is the normal arrow key default increment in Photoshop (not shift+arrow, just arrow) the same length (in pixels or inches) on all standard keyboards?  In other words, would the Photoshop arrow key default increment change from keyboard to keyboard?

    would the Photoshop arrow key default increment change from keyboard to keyboard?
    It' shouldn't. As J Maloney said, however, setting the typamatic rate very high (which some typists/ secretaries do when they do their daily finger gymnastics) might have an influence as may anything that could make the keys stick or lag behind - cooky crumbs, hair, coffee stains.

  • Arrow keys - up, down, left right - not working in Safari 2.0.4 (419.3)

    Hello all - need some help as my arrows keys in Safari have ceased working - can't scroll up or down using them and wondering why. Yes, they do work in all other app's, Yes I have deleted pref files for Safari, done most common maintenace and yes I have searched extensively for any help online.
    I did install the beta for Safari 3, and then promptly uninstalled, leaving me as I am and have been for a few days without working arrow keys.
    Any help out there is most appreciated

    hmmmm...no help, no replies.....
    ......thanks everyone!
    Hi Michael.
    I read your question when you first posted and had absolutely no idea why this problem would occur. So I didn't respond.
    I'd guess that's the same with everyone else who came across your question. People aren't ignoring you purposefully - they just don't know the answer or have any ideas to troubleshoot this problem.
    Of course, that could change. You only posted two days ago, and there's a chance that in this user-to-user forum, where all people who help are volunteering their time, anyone who happens to have an idea of why this problem is occurring just hasn't come across your question yet.
