    Keyboard Shortcut no longer working

    For years i have been pressing Ctrl+H to open up the 'Replace' tab in find and replace but now it just takes me to the 'find' tab.

    It's only a small issue but irritating all the same.

    Any ideas why this would have changed suddenly? or how to change it back?

    This sort of thing happened to me once.

    I found that I had created a macro, and used Ctrl+h as a shortcut key for the macro.

    Macro shortcut keys take precedence over the inbuilt functions. Check this out. It may even be caused by a model from someone else that you have open.

    I hope this helps, please let me know!

    Regards,

    David

    Hi,

    It seems there is a bug in certain recent releases of Office that can cause this. Are you on an Insider build?

    I ran into this too but have found a temporary workaround if you want to use AutoHotkey:

    I recently updated Excel (Version 1708 Build 8431.2094) and the problem has been corrected.
