ctrl A should select all in MS Excel 2003

[Guest]

In past versions of MS Excel, the keys [ctrl]&[a] used to select an entire
screen. In Excel 2003, pressing it once just selects a table or some
specific set of data. I have to press it twice now to select the entire
screen. It is not a big deal, but I prefer the original way it worked, hence
the name of the fucntion "select ALL". If users would like to select a
subset of data, a different set of keys should be used.

I think this change irritates a lot of xl2003 users.

You may want to send a message to:

Include excel in the subject so it gets directed to the correct group.

(I still use xl2002, whew!)
