Malfunction of "Enter" key in Excel 2007

[Andy]

My "Enter" key is not working only in Excel; it works in other programs
including MS words. I already reinstalled the full MS Office package, however
it still doen't work. Please let me know how I can solve this problem.

Without "Enter" key, it is really hard to conduct any spreadsheet works.

Thanks.

did you mean when press enter it is not going to the next cell?
did you check the tools->options-> edit->move selection after enter

Changing [Enter] Behaviour
http://www.thinkdigit.com/details.php?article_id=2727
Normally, when you hit [Enter] in Excel, the cursor moves down but you can
change that behaviour. This tip comes handy when your Excel work spans
horizontally and not vertically.
1. Click on the Office button and choose Excel Options to open the Options
dialog box.
2. In the left side column, select Advanced and look for Editing Options.
3. The first option in Editing Options section of the dialog box determines
whether the cursor should move or not, if you select Move Selection.
4. Then select After Pressing Enter Move selection and select the
appropriate direction in the drop-down menu.
