Control key Issue Excel 03
Hi,
I've been experiencing an issue in Excel when I hold down the control key to add non contiguous cells to get a task bar SUM, the most cells I can add are two or three, I don't think its a keyboard issue because control works for other things. |

Control key Issue Excel 03
There are two CTRL keys on a standatd keyboard. Do you experience this with
both keys? What happens if you hit SHIFT + F8 then select no-contiguous cells without using the CTRL key? Can you add more than two or three?

Yes with both, but sometimes it works and others it doesn't. I thought it was
a sticky key, but it happens with both Ctrl keys. The Shift+F8 works, but I am so accustomed to using the Ctrl + mouse feature. "Gord Dibben" wrote: There are two CTRL keys on a standatd keyboard.

I really don't think it is an Excel issue but have no other suggestions except
try another keyboard. Gord On Wed, 7 Mar 2007 11:22:21 -0800, Peterabb wrote: Yes with both, but sometimes it works and others it doesn't.
