I don't know what everyone else is talking about, but you could DEFINITELY deselect cells within a selected entire row/column before in 2003 by holding down CTRL and clicking the cell. I just converted over to 2007 and noticed this is no longer an option. WTF Microsoft! Why would you take this lovely function away! Mike, or anyone else, have you found out how to do this yet???
