  • Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 2.x, 3.0, 4.0
  • Microsoft Excel for OS/2, versions 2.2, 2.21, 3.0

SUMMARY

If CAPS LOCK is enabled when you enter the CTRL+<letter> key sequence (where <letter> is the keycode) for a command macro in the Formula Define Name dialog box, a capital letter will be entered for the <letter> key. As a result, when the command macro is executed using CTRL+<letter>, the SHIFT key must be depressed, even if CAPS LOCK is enabled. Microsoft Excel ignores the status of CAPS LOCK when a CTRL key is used to begin a command macro.
