keyboard shortcuts

Is there something that would turn off some of the keyboard shortcuts
in Excel?

I can hit CTRL + SHIFT + END but instead of going to the end of the
sheet, I go to the end of the row. If I open the same xls file on
another computer, I can get to the end of the sheet, as I'm supposed
to. The same goes for using CTRL + SHIFT + <ARROW KEY>. On my PC, it
selects the entire row or column. On his, it may go 2 or 3 cells in
the direction I press, but that is it.

The user of the computer where this issue is occurring is a power user
of Excel, but may have tripped a setting that I'm not familiar with.

Does anyone have an idea as to why this may occur?

Update:

If I log into his PC as a different user, I am able to use the
shortcuts correctly, on the same file.

What could he have changed that would affect the one user and not
everyone else?

As a side note, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0, as we had
problems with it and macros in the past. I'm not sure if this made a
difference or not, as I have it installed on my computer and have not
had a problem yet.

Try:
<Tools> <Options> <Transition> tab,

And *UNCHECK* everything *except*
"Microsoft Excel Menus".

Microsoft Excel Menus wasn't an option, but unchecking the Transition
Navigation Keys or something like that seems to have fixed some of it.

We're working now on another issue he's having with Exchange.
