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.

At times, when I click on one cell to enter or modify data, 2 or 3 cells
below the selected cell are highlighted. I only want the cell to be edited
to be selected. I don't know what causes the multicell selection, or how to
turn it off. Can someone explain this to me.
