In Word, go to Tools Options General and uncheck both options that mention WordPerfect. In Excel, go to Tools Options Transition and uncheck the "Transition navigation" box. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Mr. Freedman,
Thanks for your response. I did not have the options you suggested checked in Word or Excel. Do you have any other suggestions? "Jay Freedman" wrote: Edcat wrote: I have Windows XP.

In that case you certainly do have the WordPerfect options on the General
tab of Tools | Options. Clear the check boxes for both "Help for WordPerfect users" and "Navigation keys for WordPerfect users." -- Suzanne S.

Word allows user reassignment of keyboard shortcuts
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...roToHotkey.htm explains the procedure), and you could try using it to restore the correct assignments. However, there is no such customization dialog in Excel, where a macro would be required. So I don't think that's the correct explanation for how you lost the assignment in the first place. Do you have any other software running in the background that might be remapping your keyboard? Do those keystrokes work in other programs (such as WordPad)?

I see I missed the word "checked" in Edcat's reply. Sorry.

Ctrl Home and Ctrl End functions disabled
All my settings were correct and no other software running in the background
that would alter the keystrokes or remap my keyboard. I finally tried a different keyboard and the Ctrl Home and Ctrl End functions now work. Oddly, these were the only two functions that didn't work on the old keyboard, so I had eliminated the keyboard as being the culprit. Thank you both for your help and advice. It is comforting to know that experts like you are readily available and take the time to respond to questiions such as this. You are greatly appreciated! "Suzanne S.

That is indeed bizarre, but I'm glad you got there in the end. Was the
keyboard perhaps programmable? Users do sometimes disable keys such as NumLock when the keyboard software permits it--can't imagine why anyone would disable Home and End, but who knows? -- Suzanne S.
