    Ok I give up!!!! Key board language, how do we change it ?

    Hello fellows,

    How do we change the keyboard language in Excel.

    I did the whole control panel thingy and its all set to English, but for some reason when I type in a cell within Excel, the keyboard seems to be in French???

    Any help to change my Excel keyboard to English would really be appreciated!

    Thanks

    Click Start-Settings-Time&Language, then select a language that is available for your system.
    Any code provided by me should be tested on a copy or a mock up of your original data before applying it to the original. Some events in VBA cannot be reversed with the undo facility in Excel. If your original post is satisfied, please mark the thread as "Solved". To upload a file, see the banner at top of this page.

    In W7, Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and Languages
