What do the keyboard shortcuts do instead?

The usual problems are one of these
* Scroll Lock is ON
Excel 2007 indication at bottom of window at left,
prior to Excel 2007 at bottom of window at the right.
You also have the keyboard lights to tell if Scroll Lock
and/or Caps Lock and/or Num Lock are on.
Suggest using an accessibility option to warn you if you accidently
hit any of those keys, you get distinctive on/off tone.

On Vista: Control Panel, Ease of Access Center:
[Shortcut WinKey+U, then choose keyboard].
Make the keyboard easier to use: [x] Turn on Toggle keys (sound for Caps/Num/Scroll lock)
On Windows Pre Vista, Control Panel, Accessibility Options
Keyboard (tab), (check) "Use Toggle keys", [settings button] checkmark "Use shortcut"
* Transistion Navigation keys invoked (Lotus 1-2-3 compatibility features)
Pre Excel 2007 is Tools, Options, Transition (tab), turn off transition keys.
Excel 2007, Office button (large button) in upper left corner,
Options at the bottom of that popup window,
Advanced (red/orange) button on left,
On right scroll down to bottom, "Lotus Compatibility" on blue stripe,
uncheck "Lotus navigation keys" to work in Excel mode. Then use [Ok]
One of the big differences is that Home key takes you to home with navigation
keys on; otherwise, you have to use Ctrl+Home but everything else works
much better and you are in sync with other Excel users when asking for help.
* Use of F8 indication of use lower left in Excel 2007, lower right pre Excel 2007
If you see "Ext" or "Add" on the Excel status bar or in Excel 2007 you see
"Extend Selection" or "Add to Selection" hit F8 until those indications disappear.

Please use your name in the Excel newsgroups, a lot more professional, and of
course also try to describe your problem in words. No telepathy experiments.

keyboard shortcut troubleshoot said:
No.
for instance, the shortkey "ctrl + up or down arrow" works.
But the "ctrl + left or right arrow" or "ctrl + shift + arrows" do not... I
don't understand why this happened. Could it be some excel file I've opened
that reconfigurated it? it might seem ridiculous, but this kind of shortcuts
is really useful!
:
CTRL key fail?

I don't know why but the following shortcuts stopped working:
ctrl + shift + arrows
ctrl + left or right arrow
and few other combinations...
Could you know how to solve this problem and recover all this shortcuts?
