Default How do I get rid of Hourglass

Joe wrote:
I was entering numbers on a worksheet when I accidentally scrolled through
cells B1600 through B1613, and maybe left clicked my mouse, and the following
appeared in cell B1614: B1600:B1613. Cells B1600 through B1613 were outlined
in blue, forming a blue-bordered rectangle. At the same time, my cursor
turned into an hourglass and nowhere on the worksheet will it change back
into a cursor so that I can perform any function. I want to save my work; but
when I clicked on the X in the upper right corner to close the worksheet, I
was not asked if I wanted to save the worksheet. Instead, I was told that the
program was not responding and that if I proceeded to close the worksheet, I
would lose my unsaved data.

What can I do to get rid of the hourglass without terminating the worksheet
so that I can save my data? Ctrl-alt-del or some other key combination? Help.
TIA. Joe


Try Ctrl + Break.
