F1 and F2 keys desactivated

[Sebastien]

My F1, F2 and other F functions keys are desactivated. Could you tell me how
to activate them again.

Regards

Hi,

Is that in all applications or just Excel?

It does not work in any application (Word, excel, ppt...)

As a first step I'd borrow a keyboard from another workstation and see if
that fixes the problem

You don't happen to have a keyboard with an F Lock key? One where the function keys have 2 meanings, with a description on the key
and an F1 etc indication

On many newer keyboards, the F keys do double duty. Put the F-Lock switch on
and you get the standard F-key behavior. Turn the F-Key switch off and the
keys are redefined (badly so, in my opinion) to other functions. The F-Lock
key is probably just to the right of your F12 key and it probably toggles an
LED on the keyboard on and off indicating status.

Indeed, I have 2 keyboards (AZERTY and QWERT), and the one I do not use under
my screen had the F Mode button pushed by mistake this morning.

My appologies
