Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / June 2008Scroll-lock and Numeric-pad-lock are 'Permanently' Locked
Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Power PC Hello. ==> How can the scroll lock be toggled off? I tried a couple of things I know to unlock the scroll-lock indicator at the bottom of the viewing pane in Normal view. In Word, for example, the type-over function is turned on or off by simply clicking on the little rectangle at the bottom right of the viewing pane (with a grey/green toggle button and 'OVR' text). The same thing doesn't work in Excel. I don't mind the numeric-pad lock but the scroll lock is actually slowing down the pace at which I can work because I have to constantly switch from keyboard to mouse and back. Thanks in advance. -chakkar- It depends on your keyboard layout. On mine for example (macally iMediaKey) the Scroll Lock is toggled by Shift+F14, Num Lock by Shift+Clear. On my Macbook Pro it's a different story. You'll need to determine what works for you accordingly. BTW - I'd suggest leaving the Num Lock ON... You can't rely on what is now the *secondary* functionality of that group of keys to be addressed to do what you *expect* them to do - Mac or PC:-) use the Navigation Key group instead & just ignore the Numeric Keypad if you don't use it for number entry... But again, keyboard layouts vary - especially with laptops. HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 6/27/08 9:00 PM, in article 59b52949.-1@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > R' text). The same thing doesn't work in Excel. Thanks for the tips. Both commands work on my standard iMac keyboard. Glad to hear it - thanks for taking the time to confirm!
