This was similar to what you described only the + icon would change back to
the normal pointer icon when moved to the menu bars.

This occured on someone elses machine so I haven't been able to verify
whether "EXT" was displayed. I will look out for this in the future.

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.

User accesses any Excel document that he needs to work on, and at any point
in time, the application will stop responding correctly - e.g. the mouse will
start highlighting cells but the user cannot de-select them, and it will stay
focused on Excel so that user cannot access other apps etc.. Also, when he
reboots, this doesn't resolve the problem - Excel apparently restores the
file at launch and user has the same problems as before the reboot.
We have been unable to find a fix for this issue, any help would be
massively appreciated
