Has anyone had this problem?
When using Excel, sometimes a cell gets highlighted and then cannot be un-highlighted. It seems like it gets stuck and then all cells around the affected cell are also all highlighted if I try to move the cursor. If I try to exit, the dialog box says can't quit excel. I have tried everything to get the sheet to return to normal, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any advice?? -- anneburton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ anneburton's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37169 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=568868 |

Hi,
Your shift key may have some problem. It may be pressed. Press shift keys or Esc keys. "anneburton" wrote: When using Excel, sometimes a cell gets highlighted and then cannot be un-highlighted.

You might be in Extended mode.
If you are you will see EXT on the status bar. Hit F8 to disable. OR..........if you have a wheelie mouse, hit the wheel a few times.

Thanks so much for your help. This problem only occurs intermittently, and I have tried the shift keys and esc - actually have tried all keys!! It's so frustrating when it happens in the middle of work, and it seems like the only way to fix it is to shut down the entire computer, wait a bit, then restart and hope that it is gone!! I have never tried F8 key, and have done that already. I didn't see EXT on the status bar, but anything is worth trying!! Thanks again! -- anneburton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ anneburton's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37169 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=568868 |
