Mouse will not work in Excel
 
When I open Excel, the mouse is locked on a cell and whenever it moves it
highlights cells as if I am clicking and holding it.

Mouse will not work in Excel
 
Does this problem persist if you restart your computer?

Do you see "EXT" on the status bar?

If so, hit F8 key to get out of extended mode.

If you see "ADD" hit SHIFT + F8

If using a wheelie mouse, try tapping the roller up and down a few times.
