How do I un-Scroll Lock my keyboard?

Question

Somehow, I appear to have Scroll Lock on, which 99% of the time is irrelevant, with the 1% of the time being in Microsoft Excel. As the keyboard on my MBP (Model 9,2) doesn't acknowledge the existence of this key (or a couple others I often want to use, e.g. Pause, Insert); how can I un-Scroll Lock my keyboard?

Answer 1

Do you use an external keyboard with your MBP? If so (or even if you don't), plug one in, fire up Excel so you can see the option bar at the bottom (to verify everything worked OK), and hit the F14 key. Alternatively, if you happen to have a PC keyboard handy, just use Scroll Lock :)

Answer 2

Use Fn + Shift + F12 to emulate Scroll Lock.

Alternatively, Windows 7's On-Screen Keyboard program (search in Start Menu, or find it under Programs, Accessories, then Ease of Access) has a ScrLk key which you can click to toggle.
