Default 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.

Does this problem persist if you restart your computer?

Jon

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.
