Whenever I open Excel and I click on an empty cell it automatically
highlights lots of other cells according to where I place the mouse, so
wherever the mouse moves to those cells that it has passed over become
highlight and I am unable to turn it off.
It appears to work in the same way as using the F8 key in Excel.

Can anyone help?
