In excel, I seem to be "locked" on a cell and unable to click off.
In excel, I seem to be "locked" on a cell and unable to click off of it.
When I try to move from the cell, it highlights that cell and any others as I move the mouse. I've tried "esc" etc., but no luck. Any ideas? I hate to shut down w/o saving, but... |

thanks Gord.
Looks like I have more than just an "F8" button issue on my hands. This function somehow activates itself when it feels like it. I have started looking at mouse driver issues, OS / App patches and hardware updates. "Gord Dibben" wrote: The function is started by pressing the F8 key.

Sometimes, clicking the left and right mouse buttons at the same time will free up the cursor. Also try (if this is a USB mouse) diconnecting and reconnecting, several times if need be. And if the mouse has a wheel, try clicking that a few times. Last 2 suggestions thanks to Chip Pearson MS MVP If any of these work, let us know which one!
