Hi,

I'm having an issue in Microsoft Excel where I'm unable to add a space. When I press spacebar, it doesn't add a space. However, when I press alt + Spacebar It adds a space.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Select the Apple menu at the top

Go to System Preferences - Accessibility - Keyboard - Navigation.

Disable the 'Full Keyboard Access' setting to see if that resolves the problem
