In Excel, when I put the cursor on the Row Header and click and drag rows,
Excel use to keep a count of how many rows I have highlighted. That way, if
I wanted to insert 15 new rows, I could look at this counter and tell when I
have selected 15 rows. I have somehow managed to turn this option off. How
do I turn it back on?
