Thanks George but I don't get any blue shading at all regardless of if I am
using the CTRL key or not. Even clicking and holding the left mouse button
gives me no results.

If you continue to press CTRL and select other cells, you will see
that it's only the last cell selected that doesn't shade (although perhaps
not blue).

I am working with Excel 2007 and when I try to select a range of cells,
nothing happens. The lovely blue shading is not visible. I first notice
this when I tried to select non-adjacent ranges. When I pressed CTRL,
then
clicked a cell with my mouse, a box appeared inside the cell and that was
it.
Has anyone seen this before and how do I correct this?

Thanks, jen
