Hi
Not sure if this is it, but have you tried the F8 key?

Hi all have a bizzare issue with excel XP edition that me and my technical
staff have been unable to solve.

A user can use excel fine for differing periods of time before excel
randomly selects cell and highlights them. No amount of clicking anywhere on
the worksheet turns the highlighting off and all the data in the cells gets
dragged around with the cursor. The only way to exit is to power off as user
has no CTRL ALT DEL access. Have looked into Excel templates and settings and
even replaced the mouse and keyboard as a last desperate act.
There are no macros that we can detect running on the machine or the
spreadsheet. The issue happens in any opened spreadsheet and only to this
user currently but has happened before to different users.

Any help you can give guys/galls will be hugely appreciated.
