Are you using Excel 2007?

Try setting the Zoom level a little lower or higher.

The multiple cell selection is a bug in Excel 2007.

The zoom-changing appears to fix it.

I don't have 2007 but a few postings have made the suggestion and it seems
to work.

Here is one such posting.

Post back please to confirm if this works or is bogus advice.

I'm using Excel and when I click on one cell (and only one cell), Excel

is when I copy/paste, or put in a value it populates all the highlighted cell

how do I stop excel from doing this?
Thanks
