Bold doesn't work

[Louise]

Hi all

I have a really strange problem......

A colleague of mine who uses Excel on a regular basis has started having
problems with his formatting. On certain workbooks, if he uses Control and B
for bold, it doesn't work, however, if he first uses Control U for underline,
then removes it, it allows him to use Control and B???

I have tried to work out if there is a connection between all the workbooks
this happens to and we can't find anything. I have never seen this before
and am really stuck to work out what it is!

Can anybody shed any light?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Louise,

Try either using the Detect and Repair feature on the Help menu - remember to click the Restore my shortcuts while repairing checkbox, because you will keep some of your settings. HAVING SAID THAT, this happens for the whole o Office and if you have changed a lot of settings it will take ages to reset them.

Otherwise reinstall Excel.

Good luck,


Roly

Just guesses...

Try making the zoom 100%
Maybe changing the printer (or changing to a different printer driver) would
help.
