CTRL+spacebar doens't work in Excel 2007

[ximee23]

Hello, My shortcut for "highlighting column" (CTRL+spacebar) isn't working.
However, shortcut for "highlighting roll" (SHIFT+spacebar) works just fine.
Can anyone advise? Thanks!

did you install any other application recently?
because something similar had happened to me, when i tried CTRL+spacebar
google search used to come up.

No - it's actually a brand new computer from work. There wasn't anything
installed on it to the best of my knowledge. Plus I checked it in Safe Mode
and CTRL+spacebar still doesn't work. Any other thoughts?

have you tried RIGHT-CRTL+SPACE, and LEFT-CTRL +SPACE or just some
combination of those?
i still think some other application of process is causing this issue...

Apparently the default shortcut key for the Google Quick Search Bo
(installed by the google toolbar I believe) is set to CTRL+Spacebar. G
to your taskbar, right-click on the Google icon and choose shortcuts
Choose something else that won't interfere with the Excel keyboar
shortcuts and you should be fine. What a pain! :evi

Hi enicolers,

What do you mean by the "taskbar"?

Thanks!
