Default Typing to cell fails

This may be a fault for more than Excel in the Office Suite but at this time my email (Thunderbird) is working perfectly.

In EXCEL I type in a cell - works fine. Press enter or scroll down to the next cell. New typing will not appear in that cell. Click to the next sheet and new typing will appear as expected. Click back to the first sheet and new typing will appear in the active cell as expected. Press enter or scroll down to the next cell. New typing will not appear in that cell. And this problem can be repeated endlessly.



My attempt to fix this so far has been to totally re-install Microsoft Office. No fix and one loss in that Office is no longer visible in the All Apps list.

Sounds like a WINDOWS upgrade issue ?

Don't know of the fix. Perhaps contact MS ?

Thanks. Yes there was a Windows update shortly before I first noted this problem.

What is the best avenue for getting this fault to Microsoft please?

Further testing of Excel on this computer suggests there was some conflict with other software I had running at the same time. Problem not solved but some day I may work out where the conflict is.

Is the data not in the cell (not visible in formula bar) or not showing on the screen (ie:
some formatting issue such as white font on white background)?

It was not showing anywhere as if the keyboard was switched off. It was clearly a conflict with other software and is ok now. If/when it starts again I will be looking to see why.
