IMac (Intel) :: Excel 2011 Show Shortcuts When Hovering Over Button
Nov 30, 2014
I'm trying to turn on the excel functionality where I can see shortcuts when I hover over a button e.g. the bold button i would expect to see something like this "bold cmd+B". I have tried searching communities but I could find the answer. I found the answer for windows but not for mac. Below you can see a screen print to illustrate the issue. Excel only shows "bold" when I hover over the bold button and not "bold cmd+b". Im using excel 2011.
I am upgrading to Lion and Microsoft Excel and Office will not run under Lion.I am upgrading to office 2011.Do I need to uninstall office 2004 prior to installing 2011.If so how do I uninstall 2044.
I am running Lion 10.7.3 on a 2.8GHz CoreDuo iMac from 2007 and on a Macbok Air 2.13 GHz Core duo from 2010. The iMac has 4GB of RAM the Macbook has 2 GB RAM.
I run Microsoft Office 2011 on both machines. For the same file the Macbook operates normally on Word and Excel. The iMac is slow at best and when I try a Save As it hangs for up to 15 minutes brfor letting me change the FIle Name. This effectively makes it unusable.
As far as I can tell the set up of Office on both Machines is identical and I have eliminated duplicate Fonts as suggested by some posts but the problem remains. I have checked Activity Monitor and I am not getting any Page Outs so RAM does not appear to be an issue.
Example: If my track pad hovers over the SEND button in e-mail, it sends it without me clicking. Or the TRASH CAN, it deletes it. How do I make this a manual process, requiring a click?
I am trying to create a text shortcut on my imac similar to that I have on my ipad and iphone. For example,I use my Face book web address a lot in dicuments and want to just type fb and it appears much like I do on my ipad?

I'm quite new to using external hard drives so this will sound bad! What I am thinking of doing is having a external running logic pro on it with all the vsts's instead of having it on my internal memory. Also want to have just one external with my iTunes library on? if i did that will the shortcuts still show up in iTunes?
I just switched to Mac from Windows. I'm using a current-model Mac Mini purchased in the US along with a bilingual Apple Bluetooth Hebrew/English keyboard purchased in Israel. The bilingual functions work perfectly for text; the only problem is that the Mac seems to think that I am using an English keyboard and the OS menus give me keyboard shortcuts for an English keyboard. Since the symbols on a USA keyboard don't exactly correspond to the symbols on my foreign keyboard, the keyboard shortcuts given in the mac menu are useless.
has anyone had an issue with office mac 2011 excel and osx lion? i make excel spreadsheets with pdf storyboards on them, and too often the excel file will not reopen. instead i get a corrupt file notice. i choose fix file and the file opens without the pdf files. sounds like a pdf/excel issue to me. it is maddening.
I looked and I didn't find any info so I just wanted to tell you that Solver for Excel Mac 2011 is now available as a free download here: http://www.solver.com/ This guys also have some other really cool tools if you want to check them out.
I've had great success with Excel 2011 on OS 10.6.8. Up until today. Now, Excel crashes on launch, tries to recover, and crashes again. I read the previous comments about a) hold down shift key and launch and b) delete the /plist file. Tried both, no success. I can still launch Excel 2008, fyi. And Word, etc, all other MS office products...

I've seen conflicting information about the new Office Mac release. Have Macros been restored to Excel? And if so, what language are they using? Has anyone tried them or tried to import Macros from Excel 4 or Excel 5 macro languages?
MS has added many styles to default worksheet in 2011. Previous versions I could create my own default workbook and put it in the Startup folder for Excel. That does not work in 2011. Anyone able to tell me how to use my former default sheet in 2011 (don't want to Template feature)? I am talking about the sheet created when you start Excel.
It's supposedly the shortcut to Paste Special in Excel 2011. It's not working for me. Maybe I'm hitting the keys wrong? You can see it if you go to the Edit menu. thank you.
I am experienced in Excel VBA on the PC but not on the Mac. I am building an application on my PC that will run on my sister's Mac (latest OS, Excel V14.0.2). The problem involves the use of FormulaARRAY in my code. I have extracted the problem statement into a small example routine shown below: Public Sub example() Dim lastcol As Long With ActiveSheet lastcol = 12 .Cells(4, 6).FormulaArray = "=SUM((MOD(COLUMN(RC9:RC" & lastcol & ") -COLUMN(RC9),3)=0)*(RC9:RC" & lastcol & "))" End With End Sub
Here is one of the correct and working formulas that resulted on the PC (note the brackets for the array formulas are missing but they are there. I got what I am showing by using the 'display formulas' option which apparently does not show the brackets): =SUM((MOD(COLUMN(RC9:RC12)-COLUMN(RC9),3)=0)*(RC9:RC12))
Here is the incorrect and non working formula that resulted on my sister's Mac: (again the brackets are there) =SUM((MOD(COLUMN(R[5]C[465]:R[8]C[465])-COLUMN(R[5]C[465]),3)=0)*(R[5]C[465]:R[8]C[465]))
Both systems were set to display R1C1 Reference Style. This is irrelevant on the PC and I would assume the same for the Mac. I bought an old G4 for $60 to use to debug my PC code in the Mac environment. Curiously the code runs fine on it under Excel 2004.
Excel on my mac is so confusing and i have never used it before. It prints out everything but the grid lines for the graph..without the gridlines, the graph looks weird and not easy to read..The print preview shows the grid lines on the mac but when it prints out, i get a weird graph..
I am having finder freeze all the time.I am using Lion and am new to Mac in general.I try to force quit and relaunch but it will hang the system forcing me to power it down.
When I try to save a document I get the following error message no matter how simple the document name, even if it is one letter:
This is not a valid file name.
Try one or more of the following:
* Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. * Select a file from the list of files and folders.

Does anybody know where the controls / forms toolboxes are. Just got to the end of building a spreadsheet, and cannot find the control toolbox anywhere for adding spinners, check boxes etc. Is it even included anymore, as web searches draw a total blank for me.
Two strange issues that I can't fix on my new MB Air 13 with MS Office for MAC 2011 and Excel.
1) I can't get the Standard Toolbar to show up when I open a new worksheet. I go to view, toolbars and then see that the Standard Toolbar is checked, but it doesn't show up. The only way to get it to show up is to do a series of steps: - uncheck Standard Toolbar menu and go back out; - go back in and check the Standard Toolbar and back to the spreadsheet - the Standard Toolbar still doesn't show up; - so then I click on the Layout tab on the ribbon and then it shows up!
2) I can't see the bottom of the window/spreadsheet - which means I can't resize the window. To resolve this, I have to do these steps: - open system preferences and change my MBA screen resolution from 1440 x 900 down to 1280 x 800 - then go back to the spreadsheet, and resize the window (make it smaller on the screen) - go back and resize the window back to 1440 x 900 - and then close the system preferences at this point, the Excel spreadsheet window is smaller and I can see/use the bottom of the screen to resize, etc.
Can't figure out what setting I have wrong or why I can't get Excel for Mac 2011 to work correctly on the MB Air screen.
The printing area is smaller than the page I want to print, 3 or 4 columns are on an other page to the right of the print area that I can print, I am not great on excel but would like to move the printing area so it can take all of it.
I need to purchase a replacement LCD for my iMac 21.5" I have found cheaper LCDs for the the 2009 and 2010 iMacs. I was wondering if they will work on my 2011 model. The lcd numbers are the same exept for the () numbers. The 2009 lcd number is LM215WF3 (SL) (A1). The lcd on my mac is LM215WF3 (SD) (C2). Will any 21.5" work?
