Excel 2000

hi
recently moved into new office that uses Excel 2000 & Powerpoint 2000 in Win2000
This excel is different from the previous office which uses Win98. Here are some examples.
1. Instead of Ctrl+End to get to end of page, have to use End+Home
2. Sum button does not offer Average
3. Worksheet tab cannot be coloured.
4. Powerpoint does not have slide tab in Normal View (side window) only outline.

All the hotkeys and shortcut I have learn cannot be use. My new colleagues think I am an alien... since they are used to the missing functions. Can anyone explain and
HELP! HELP!

Regards

Hi Robin

i have a vague feeling that this was answered somewhere else ... the excel
that you were using in "previous office" was excel 2002, you're now using
excel 2000 .. the things you mentioned that aren't available in your current
versions are some of the "improvements" that came out in 2002 (same goes
for powerpoint)

(although #1 is a strange one - i thought ctrl & end always worked).

not much you can do about it unless you convince them to upgrade!

Cheers
JulieD

I think JulieD answered 2-3 for you, but for #1, try:

tools|options|transition tab
uncheck those Lotus 123 settings.
(especially: transition navigation keys)

JulieD answered #4, too. But I don't powerpoint enough to know why the
difference.

Would you (or anyone) know if the 'upgrades' or improvements for Excel 2000 is downloadable from Microsoft website or from the internet?

Hi Robin

"unfortunately" you actually have to purchase the upgrade version of 2002
(or 2003 which is currently the latest version).

Cheers
