MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / October 2007unusual behavior when data is entered
When I enter any value to a cell and hit the right arrow key, a 'b' is placed at the end of the value and the excel window is minimized. Does anyone know what could cause this? Does this happen with every cell? With every sheet? With every file?

Some blank cells all I have to do is right arrow and a 'b' will show and the window will minimize. In other cells, 'n/' will show with a blank box below the cell when I right arrow. My kid was playing with my keyboard before this happened, this could be part of the problem. I also notice that hitting the right arrow key inserts a 'b' or an 'n/' when using other programs also. lob schreef: > When I enter any value to a cell and hit the right arrow key, a 'b' is > placed at the end of the value and the excel window is minimized. > Does anyone know what could cause this? in windows control panel you should delete all language settings except the setting you're using. by default a windows installation configures different langage and keyboard settings. when you use short cut keys (ctrl + p or alt + F1) the keyboard settings tend to change (don't ask me why, ask Microshit), which could lead to problems as you described . So, to prevend this from happening, investigate your language settings in the control panel as thoroughly as can be. this should save a lot of trouble. good luck, sybolt That did the trick, thanks very much. |
