    Windows 8 Shortcuts Interfering with Excel Shortcuts

    Hi,

    I am hoping someone may be able to help me. I have been using Excel for years and have always used ALT+E+S for special paste. However since updating the latest Windows 8 start page, now ALT+E takes me to Screen Shot. This is really annoying as it is a shortcut that I use a lot. I am wondering if anyone knows how to turn the Windows 8 shortcuts off, so that I can use the standard Excel shortcuts.

    Thanking you in advance for your help.

    Linda

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    I know this doesnt help much, but I am on win 8.1 office 13, and ALT ES worked fine for me
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Can you not assign a different shortcut for Taking Screen Shots?

    That would be great . Do you know how I do that. I have spent ages drawling through my system and can't find a way to do it.

    Thanks,
    Linda
