    Excel 2011 - Unable to Unlock Scroll Lock on MacBook Pro

    I am not able to remove SCROLL LOCK on my MacBook Pro. Everyone says an F14 key is required, but MacBook Pros don't have one. Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Thank you Martin. The "Basics" article shows fn+shift+f12 should toggle "Scroll Lock" on and off. Don't know why, but hitting these keys does nothing.

    from another forum
    See if it helps to delete the Excel preferences file:

    Quit Excel
    Go to UserName:Library:Preferences*
    Delete the file: com.microsoft.Excel.plist

    In OS X 10.7/10.8 the user Library folder is Hidden. If you aren't familiar with accessing it see:
