Excel keyboard shortcuts

[Santa-D]

Why is it in excel 2003 I can no longer press CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW Keys
when trying to select a row or selection when entering the details in
sum equations.

 

[Excelibur]

Because you pressed F2. And selecting a row is faster with
Shift+Space, selecting a column with Ctrl+Space.

 

[Santa-D]

Nope, that's incorrect.
I can do it on a different machine.
in any cell type =SUM(then press CTRL+SHIFT+UP) and it'll highlight the
the relevant range.
When I do it on my machine, I press =SUM(then press CTRL+SHIFT+UP) and
it enters the formula: =SUM(A8)

What I'm trying to refer to is in this document, under the section -
selecting cells.

For me, in XL2000 & 2002, those combination work on the worksheet, but not
from the formula bar.

Yeah I know, and it's the worksheet that won't let me do it.
It's sending me insane, I'm so used to it.

Found the solution:

I removed an addin - namemanager.xla and after that everything went
back to normal.

Maybe you could inform the author of that add-in of this problem, assuming
you are sure it is the cause.
