ctrl+` does not work in Excel, office365

Question

The shortcut ctrl+` does not work in my Excel, office365. It simply does not display the formular in the blank and highlight the relevant blanks.

Answer 1

If that is the case, try opening in Safe mode.

Safe mode is a diagnostic step, not a way to run Excel.

If that helps, write back and we'll try to get to the bottom of the cause.

If opening in Safe mode doesn't help, I would recommend a repair.

Try the quick method first. It is less comprehensive but much quicker than the online repair.

Answer 2

It should be "Excel" which does not work with the shortcut "ctrl+`". Sorry for my mistype.

Answer 3

It is working to add the ` above appropriate letters, for me.

Is that what you are seeking?

Answer 4

The default definition of the keystroke ctrl+ is to prepare Word to add a grave accent to the next letter you type if it's a vowel. For example, pressing ctrl+ followed by the letter a creates à. Similarly, ctrl+' adds an acute accent, so ctrl+' followed by the letter a creates á.

It sounds like the keystroke ctrl+` has been assigned to a different purpose on the questioner's computer, or perhaps only in documents based on a particular template. If it has stopped working, it'll have to be reassigned to whatever that command or macro may be.

Answer 5

Hi, i hope you're doing good today.

Which shortcut exactly are you trying to use? ctrl+`?

I'm trying it and it doesn't work for me either.

What it does exactly?
