Default how do i prevent continued highlighting cells when cursor moves?
Try hitting the F8 key. If you see EXT in the statusbar (at the bottom), then
excel figures you're trying to extend your range by including more cells.

Or your mouse could be sticking. Try gently banging on the buttons--including
the wheel mouse if you have one.

Somehow the highlight mode is stuck, no matter where I go, the highlight area
can be from 1 cell to multiple of cells up, down, sideways from home cell.
