It was very odd...but I finally fixed it by Protecting the sheet and then
Unprotecting it. Upon reopening the spreadsheet, I had to make that change
before clicking anywhere in the sheet.

Thanks for your help.

I open an existing Excel spreadsheet of mine and I try to click into a cell
and it has a white cross instead of the cursor arrow and appears to be
trying
to scroll, highlighting as it goes. I can't even click on menu items or
the
X to close. Have to use Task Manager to close. Would really like to edit
the spreadsheet.
