Excel won't stop highlighting (Dec 06)
Symptoms:
Clicking any cell in Excel highlights everything from that cell back to A1xA1. Moving your mouse behaves like the left mouse button is being held down (or stuck). You need to Ctrl+Alt+Del (CAD) to get out of the document and close Excel altogether. My Solution that worked: Ensure mouse is operating fine, not dirty, or sticky keys. Ensure EXT mode is turned off (F8 in Excel) Ensure Scroll lock mode is off in ControlPanel Mouse Installed the latest IntelliPoint Drivers (5.2 at time of writing) And Voila! That should fix it.

Joel,
You are probably in "Extended Mode" the F8 key on your keyboard should turn that feature off. PS: if you look at the "Status" bar in Excel you will see "EXT" which means the Extend Mode is enabled. Hope that helps! " wrote: Symptoms: Clicking any cell in Excel highlights everything from that cell back to A1xA1. Moving your mouse behaves like the left mouse button is being held down (or stuck).

And if Marilyn's shot isn't the problem
Try hitting the wheel on your wheel mouse a few times, if that fails re-install the mouse drivers -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Marilyn" wrote in message ...
