hi
not sure what you mean by "outside the data area" but to select multiple
areas on a sheet, hold the Ctrl key down while selecting with the mouse. but
in 2007, due to the light color highlight, it's hard to see just what has
been selected.

I have a field that is "outside" the data area and I only want to select
certain items to view. If that field box is "inside" the data area, then it
lets me do it. Is there a trick to select multiple items like in Excel 2007?
