Elsewhere I kvech about keystroke shortcuts missing or broken in Win 7 and Office 2007.

CTR-Y WAS a GREAT example, and now it is partially gone. (WHYYYYY?)

In Excel, I used to repeat basically any control action by using Control Y.

So if it was format a column, row or cell, I would format, and then do Contr Y to repeat it in other columns.

Just now, I was inserting additional spreadsheets in a spreadsheet. Yes - Control Y would do it without all the other keystrokes.

OK, so how about adding an extra row or column? Nope.

Control Y was disabled in this case. WHY?

This product is FULL of these foolish little dis-improvements.

Is this Microsoft's version of death by paper-cuts!

How do we get these broken feature-ettes cataloged and repaired?

(pls don't suggest Open Office!)

Of course, for extra bonus points, it works in some instances and not others...
