[gui-talk] Strange problem with Excel 2003

[Steve Jacobson]

The Scroll Lock key can cause some strange things to happen.  Your laptop likely has an extra key that acts as a 
special shift key called an "FN" key.  It is likely that there is some key on your laptop that will generate the scroll lock 
key when pressed with the FN key.  This varies with the laptop and can even vary within brand.  Not all Dell's, for 
example, use the same key combinations.  Either you will need to find the manual for your laptop or have someone 
look at your laptop's keyboard.  Sometimes the FN keycombinations are written on the keys.  I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
