Keep on hitting ctrl-a as many times as you need (you won't need more than 3,
IIRC).

ctrl-a's behavior changed depending on what was selected and what was in
surrounding cells.

The Edit menu does not contain a Select All item.
Using Ctrl-A does not Select All, if there is an area to select. For
Example consider range (A1:A8) with data in each cell except for A3 and A6.

A1
A2

A4
A5

A7
A8

Placing the cursor on A5 and typing Ctrl-A only selects cells A4 and A5.

This is on each computer running Excel 2003 SP2 that I have tested. Is
Microsoft getting rid of Ctrl-A and Select All? Help still references
Ctrl-A.
