    Excel 2013 FN keys

    I am using excel 2013 in windows 8 on a lenovo, and the FN keys do nothing, F4 does not repeat, F2 does not access the text, why would this be?

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Do they do anything?
    F4 absolutes
    F2 edits
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    No, they just do things like turn down the volume, ask me if i want to connect to another projector, but nothing related to excel. F7 doesnt spellcheck, no F keys do anything

    Re: Excel 2013 FN keys

    Hi,

    Are the F functions a particular colour? Might this same colour be found on e.g. the FN key near the bottom-left of the keyboard?

    I mean, if there are two or three different options on each of the keys containing the F functions, such as Volume Control, are you sure that the F functions have not been designated as "secondary" function on those keys, and so require combining with some other key, e.g. FN, ALT, SHIFT or CTRL?

    Regards

    You're correct, Ctrl + F keys is what does it. Thanks
