Shortcuts bypassed when typing too fast

[cjtb]

I'm encountering an issue in Excel 07 with shortcut keys. When typing too
quickly the shortcut is not executed and instead the shortcut keys that have
been pressed are entered as text in the relevant cell. This is an issue on
multiple machines.

This is especially an issue in trying to quickly format borders and font
colors. I am formatting with native shortcuts as well as shortcuts that are
from a custom tab which have been added to the Quick Access Toolbar.

An overview of my 3 machines specs are as follows:
OS: WinXP Pro 32-bit SP3
Office: Excel 2007 (12.0.6524.5003)
RAM: 2gig
CPU: Intel dual-core

Anyone else run into this and have any tips for mitigating other than typing
more slowly?

thanks!

My guess it that you are not using the correct keys and/or sequence when
typing fast and only get the combination correct when slowing down.
