In my experience, that's usually a stuck key on the keyboard. Tap each of
the shift, alt, ctrl, caps lock and windows keys several times, harder than
usual, but not too hard. See if that clears up the problem.

My mouse is selecting areas instead of single cells. Can someone tell me
what the purpose of this is and what its called so I can look it up in
help
and figure out how to turn the option on and off?

Thanks a million,
