Question : Left and right keys are reversed in excel text boxes

While navigating within the text of the text boxes in our excel spreadsheets, the left and right keys are reversed. When making a new text box and entering text, key navigation is normal. When copy and pasting select words from the old text box into a new blank text box, key nagivation is normal. But when copy and pasting entire lines/paragraphs from the old text box into a new text box, reverse key navigation follows. Please help, I've attached an empty spreadsheet with a text box that is having this issue.

Running Vista, Office 2007. Text boxes originally created in Office 2003.

Answer : Left and right keys are reversed in excel text boxes

artatomic,

Well, I see that this is different in Excel 2007.  It looks like they've changed how language types are implemented and eliminated the option shown above.  One option that worked for me was to set the TextBox to Left-to-Right in Excel 2003 which fixed shape when opened in Excel 2007.
