Ctrl+H brings up 'find' instead of 'replace' in Excel

September 27, 2017 7:05 AM

As of yesterday (September 26), while in Excel, using the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+H brings up the Find box instead of the Replace box and I have to either use the mouse to hit the Replace tab or use the keyboard shortcut of Alt+P to get to Replace. Since this problem began, I have closed and reopened Excel, and I have shut down and restarted my computer.

Ctrl+H works normally in Word without any trouble.

I'm using Microsoft Office Home and Business 2016 and the account info from Excel says that I'm on Version 1708 (Build 8431.2079).

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Best answer: Looks like a known issue that is fixed in version 1710. See this thread.
