Research Dialog Box keeps appearing

**gmjoja** · 04-18-2011, 03:47 PM

When I click my mouse to Copy and Paste, the Research Dialog Box often pops up. When I "X" it out I have to repeat my Copy command. I am not touching the ALT key, not using the keyboard at all at these times. Can anyone tell me how to stop this from happening?

You may have a stuck key on the keyboard. Try turning the keyboard over and tapping lightly all over the bottom of it, and also try rapidly pressing and releasing on the ctrl and alt keys to dislodge whatever may be stuck in them.

A stuck key is a good possibility . . . will do when I return to work Thursday (I'm PT). Thanks!

Hi gmjoja and welcome to the forum,

Does this happen with every workbook you have or only on a certain one. There are Event Macro's that might be behind your workbook to make a keystrokes or mouse clicks work differently.

Also - Did this just start happening after April Fools day?

Marvin, thank you. It happens with every worksheet in every file, and has for years. I assumed it was a built-in result of my moving the mouse too fast, some sort of shortcut move I didn't intend, until it occurred to me recently it could be fixed.
