Why does the "/" key act like the alt key

[JV]

I'm using excel 2007 and when I use the "/" it acts like the alt keys. Is
there a way to turn this feature off?

hi
when used alone, it is the "help" key. when other characters are used first,
it's just a slash.
to change it or disable.....
office button>excel options>advance
scroll to the bottom. uncheck any transition setting. if there is a small
box with a / in it, delete the /. should have heading of MS Menu or Help key.
(i don't have 2007 yet. still doing reseach.)

post back with your actions so i can add to my library.

I will confirm your suspicions about the Transition settings and the / key
in 2007.

Behaves same as earlier versions..............acts as Alt key
