I've tried this - using Butler 4.1.6 and Microsoft Excel 2008 (v12.1.2) and it doesn't work. After setting up the Keystroke in Butler (F2) to send the keystrokes CTRL-U, I restarted Excel and tried it, sadly, F2 still initiates a pasteboard copy. I double checked that I had the Exceptions setup properly in Butler and I did indeed. Next, to test, I removed all the exceptions, and for kicks, replaced the Keystrokes with "This is a test". Again, restarting Excel to test, F2 *still* does a copy and ignores my Butler settings. I tried F2 in Skype and Text Wrangler (stuff I just had open) and it did type "This is a test". I also tried adding a delay, with no difference in results in Excel. Did I do something wrong, or did the latest Microsoft update actively prevent Butler from working?

Works fine for me in Excel 2008; I just tested again to be sure. e-mail me privately if you'd like more assistance (my username here at the hints' domain).

It works well for me too, now. Although, I'm since upgraded MS Office to version v12.1.4. I wonder if this is the difference?

Thanks for following up and keep up the great work!
