Then you're stuck with clicking in the first cell, and then use the scroll
bar to find the end of the data, and then <Shift, and click in the last
cell.

What I occasionally do is depress my mouse scroll wheel, which gives me a 4
sided scroll icon, where I can smoothly scroll up, down, left, or right, and
then <Shift and click in the last cell.

If you know the address of the last cell of your data, you can *exactly*
select the range by:
1] Click in first cell - Click in "name box" - Enter last cell (i.e.
A50) -
Hold <Shift, Hit <Enter

2] Click in "name box" - Enter range (i.e. A1:A50) - Hit <Enter

Hi all,

So I've got 500 row of data or so, and I'm trying to hi-lite them so do
stuff, but if I start dragging the mouse down, it runs off and I'm at
row
10,000 before I know it! I can control the speed of it, but I was
wondering
if there was a way to set a hard 'end' point to the rows, let's say at
501
or so...

This way, when I try to scroll down (basically, a scroll lock of
sorts),
it
won't pass where I don't have any data. I can't find any info in all
the
texts that I have..

Any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Excel is so powerful, I am
really
liking it!




Thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately, every column has different amounts of rows and it is
difficult to manage all this data. I have approximately 200 columns of
data
with 500 rows (+/- 50 rows), and have about 20 workseets with this amount
of
data :(..
