Excel makes it possible to extend a selection. You can toggle this by hitting
the F8 key (it's a toggle key).

Maybe you were in extend mode when you had your earlier trouble.

Thanks for the info. I went back in to try it but it's not doing it anymore.
Strange. Thank you anyway though.

I'm betting that you have merged some cells. This gives the appearance of a
giant cell.

Rightclick on that cell
Format|cells|alignment tab|uncheck merge

(select all the cells on the worksheet first to get get rid of all these merged
cells)

I have an Excel 2007 worksheet. When I left click on a cell, instead of that
cell having a box around it, the selection box is around that cell and 5
others under it. And when I try to select a row, that row and five below it
are selected. How do I fix this?
