Default cell selection appears to be locked

Do you see "EXT" on the status bar?

If so, hit F8 key to get out of extended mode.

If using a wheelie mouse, try tapping the roller up and down a few times.

Excel. When I open an exisitng spread sheet, a cell is selected. When I move
the cursor to another cell it selects all the cells I have gone over.
Entering doesn't help.
I can't even get to the tool bar. I have to quit excel to get out of the
spreadsheet.
Thanks.
