Cursor direction in text box reversed

When working in Excel 2007 with a spreadsheet that was created in Excel 2003 the existing and newly created (in Excel 2007) text boxes have the left/right polarity of the cursor inverted i.e. pressing the right arrow key moves the cursor left and the left arrow moves it right.

Is a fix for this known?

Thanks

Jeff

Hello Jeff

Thank you for your question.

From hunting around on the internet, it seems that others have experienced the same problem. One web site I came across seemed to suggest that this problem would be resolved by downloading Service Pack 1 for Office 2007.

Service Pack 1 can be downloaded from the following web page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9EC51594-992C-4165-A997-25DA01F388F5&displaylang=en

Kind regards
Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for the infomation and the link, I have Office Excel 2007 (12.0.6425.1000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000) do you still think that the SP1 update will fix the bug? I am downloading the SP1 update now.

Hi Jeff

I don't know - I guess we'll find out once you've finished downloading the service pack :)

Excel tip:

COUNT function vs COUNTA function

The COUNTA function works in the same way as the COUNT function, except that it will count cells that contain text (labels) and also cells that contain numbers (values). The COUNT function will only count cells that contain numbers. Blank cells are not counted by either the COUNT or the COUNTA function.
