How to get back my selected cells ?
 

I am working with Microsoft Excel 2003, performing selections on a
worksheet with the CTRL key. After a few selections and still more to
select, I have inadvertently let go of the CTRL key while clicking in a
cell, thereby losing my previous selections.
Is there a way to get them back or do I have to re-start the tedious
selection exercise?

You don't have to use the CTRL key while clicking.

Hit SHIFT + F8 key to enter ADD mode.

Now just click to select cells.

Hit F8 twice to leave ADD mode.
