Help me with a quick excel question please. Arrow keys doing funny things.

[MardyBra]

I'm sure there's a quick solution to this, but I can;'t for the life of me work it out.

I'm in excel and I've done something so that when I press one of the arrow keys, instead of moving to the next cell, it moves the whole spreadsheet.

It's driving me nuts. Can anyone tell me how to switch it back to normal.
I am using Excel for Mac btw.

Thanks in advance.

[MardyBra]

Anyone?

Please?

Check you haven't got scroll lock on, that normally happens to me when I've pressed it.

[ElizaCBennett]

Yes, I think switch scroll lock off!

YY scroll lock, or if you have a wheel mouse, sometimes if the scroller has been held down too long it can do funny things....

The ESC key is your friend (Or MAC equivalent...)

[MardyBra]

OK trying to find scroll lock on mac

escape key.
Other solution is to quit and restart.

[MardyBra]

It's been like this for a couple of weeks now, so escape and quitting not much good so far.
Nothing on help function for scroll lock.
Now googling

OK, I've sound something telling me scroll lock is f14 on a mac keyboard. My keyboard only goes up to f12.

[SayCoolNowSayWhip]

Try F14

Sorry! Sorry! X posted....

Are you able to get an onscreen keyboard and do it that way? I don't know Macs but on Windows you go Start, Accessories, Ease of Access and On Screen Keyboard...

[MardyBra]

OK I've done it (no thanks for SayCool) by following
this:gigaom.com/2008/09/24/mac-101-get-an-onscreen-keyboard-in-osx/

I got an onscreen virtual keyboard with an f14 button.
Will have to do some work now.

[lljkk]

This is your problem, OP.

[MardyBra]

Oh sorry SayCool. I missed that and was googling while you posted.

[MardyBra]

Right. I'm sorted.
to everyone (and apologies to SayCool)

[SayCoolNowSayWhip]

Glad it's fixed Mardy

[lljkk]

Try this:

"Try Fn + Shift + F12 (nice)

I found this on the MacBook Pro boot camp site:
