Hi John, I've been using the VBA editor in excel and Word for years, and I never knew about these menu choices you are refering to. the accelerator keys work anyway, even if the menu choices don't read. I could probably find you documentation on the accelerator/shortcut keys if you don't know what to press? you should really have the MS Office script that I've written for window eyes; it makes Intellisense work in the Office VBA editors, which makes your coding *much* easier. Write me at work if you have further questions on coding in VBA; my work email is: [email protected] the only configuration change I remember making which made things a lot better, was to go into the tools menu, and the options choice, and find the "docking" tab, and uncheck all the checkboxes which let the various windows be docked and parked up at the top of the window. actually, this may help if you are having menus not read properly once you do this. also, make sure the VBA IDE window is maximized; this is really important. hth, Chip

I've begun working with excel vba hoping to write a new excel function. My question relates to the editor. When I'm in the vba editor I can press alt to activate the menus. The menu appears to read properly except for the optional f keys listed at the far right of the menu selection. For example the project explorer has a excellerator of ctrl+r. Why can't we read this? Do I need to make some kind of adjustment in the editor and/or we to maximize performance? Thanx, John Carty If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
