This has happened to me also. I think it has to do with some confusion in
the Z-order of all the open windows on the desk top. Usually when I click
through the icons on the toolbar and bring focus to all the applications then
switch back to excel it fixes the problem. Maybe it will work for you too.

Lately, when I have been working in Excel, my mouse will occasionally
disappear on the worksheets and will only be visible when I drag outside onto
my desktop. This usually happens after I've been working for a little while
and I haven't been able to determine any particular reason . . . any advice?
Thanks in advance!
