Hello,

Shift-space and Ctrl-space are the keyboard shortcuts for selecting an entire row or column respectively.

When typing a formula, they do the same, i.e. give you the reference for that entire row or entire column.

cheers, teylyn

lol - its a pain - especially when typing fast, to see that come up.

Apparently, others have this pain and it would take macro work to turn that "feature" off.  Never intentially have used these two shortcut keys, lol.

Thanks,
