MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / November 2006Bug in German Office/Excel 2007 on German Systems
Hello. I've a German Windows XP Pro SP2 and of course a keyboard with German layout. Since I've installed my copy Office 2007 RTM from MSDN one key combination no longer works, maybe others too. On German (and I guess other European keyboard layouts too) there is the EURO-Symbol € (\u20AC) which normally can be typed with the key combination / shortcut AltGr + E or Ctrl + Alt + E. Since I've installed Office 2007 this shortcut does not work anymore. Instead it starts Excel which is a bug, because the € is a common and often used character in Europe, because it's our currency. Do you have any solutions or ideas for this issue? Thanks in advance. Marco Can you describe when this happens exactly, as in what you are doing step-by-step? I am running 2007 RTM on XP Pro SP2 English, but with a German keyboard.

I've installed Office 2007 RTM (German) and since then when pressing AltGR + E or Ctrl + Alt + E in an editor (Word, Notepad, Outlook Email editor) or everywhere else where you can type text, instead of inserting the Euro character at the cursor position Excel 2007 is started. If you whish I can send you a short video doing exactly that tomorrow, now I've no time.
