Has anyone figured out how to stop EXCEL 2007 from constantly asking if it
should "Expand the selection" or "Continue with the current selection?" I
have to sort answers I'm creating for multiple-choice tests, so my data bank
has groups of four answers that I sort alphabetically one group after
another. The wretched program constantly pops up this "Sort Warning" that
forces two extra clicks or keystrokes for every sort!

I'm sure that someone thought the warning would be useful, but I'M SICK OF
IT! It should be possible to TURN IT OFF!!!

[And no, I cannot apply a general sort to the entire sheet to avoid the
question-by-question sort....]

I would love to hear an answer in regards to the above FROM MICROSOFT!
They won't explain why they made the software do this nor will they give an option to make it NOT do this!
