Excel 2007 shortcut Ctrl and + doesn't work

[Guest]

After upgrading to 2007 I can no longer use the short cut Ctrl and the + on
the keyboard by the numbers I have to use the + above the letters. Is there a
setting I have to make before I can use the + out to the left next to the
numers on the keyboard. It's to make a new row. It was so handy as the right
and is allways on the number section of the keyboard.

Has something has remapped your keyboard? This is not the way XL2007
behaves. Pressing CTRL and + (on the numeric keyboard) inserts a new line is
in XL 2003 and XL2007 (A shortcut I had forgotten - many thanks for the
reminder) The + on the top line of the 'typewriter' part of the keyboard has
no effect on my PC.

FYI
Provided I select the row number then Control with either the numeric or
"typewriter" + Inserts a new line for me.
If in a cell, then both give me the opportunity to Insert a cell.

Silly me! I had forgotten to hold down SHIFT to get + on the top row keys (I
always use the number keypad +)

Thanks for your answer. But I've tried using an old keyboard still the same
problem. The keyboard settings on the PC are the same (I have my old PC still
with Excel 2002).
But I've now noticed that others have had problems with other shortcuts in
the danish version of Excel, and we use danish, so maybe it's a general
problem.
For now I guess we just have to use the plus sign on the part of the
keyboard by the numbers.
