I am having trouble in MS Excel to move from cell to cell with my arrow keys. I think the scroll lock is on but can't turn it off.
I tried Fn F6 but now I can't change the dimmer on my display. What am I doing wrong?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Hi All,
Just solved this problem on my side.
My solution is to press "fn+cmd+down arrow".
It works on my MBP with Excel 2015.

This is Microsoft's official answer for Mac user's with a notebook:
* Username:Library means look for the Library folder in your user account. To see the Library in 10.7 and 10.8 you must open the Finder and then hold the Option key while looking under the Go menu in the Finder.
If you seriously miss the extended FN keys of the standard wired keyboard you might find Keyboard Maestro (a macro creation program) useful. Among other things, I have keyboard shortcuts to emulate the FN keys so I don't have to hit FN which I find annoying. And it lets me create FN equivalents for the keys I'm missing on my MBP.
Hi,
I had the same problem and the only way I could solve it was by plugging in a USB keyboard (it was a microsoft keyboard) then pressing shift-Scroll Lock.
Simply pressing Scroll-Lock only activated the keyboard illumination control so did not work.
Hi - Had same stuck scroll lock in Excel 2011 on my MBP. Took advice - plugged in wireless keyboard from my think pad - Shift+Scroll lock and wham - I am back in business. Oh an without shift key it changed brightness on my external monitor. Thanks. Dave
this definitely works! been trying to find a solution for so long. deleted the excel.plist, tried to change system preferences but none worked till i used an external usb keyboard with a scroll lock! solved! 😀
f14 took care of it for me.
I don't have an f14 key and have not found a working answer on any forum.
Try going to sytem prefs> track pad and check your settings thee, maybe you have something clicked that you don't want clicked, in regard to scrolling
Check SYSTEM PREFERENCES>KEYBOARD>KEYBOARD and examine the Function key box to see if is unchecked.
Ciao.
Thank you - am so glad to have found your post - simple and totally worked!
Thank you for positing this solution! This did the trick for me 🙂
Also works on MBA
