The strangest thing happened. I was working on an Excel sheet and suddenly
the Horizontal scroll bar on the bottom right started functioning differently
- it resized the sheet instead of allowing me to scroll across. For example,
when I drag the bar to the right, the sheet expands, to the left - it
contracts. If I double click it the sheet maximizes.

It has happened before and I know that if I close and re-open it goes back
to functioning properly. Does anyone know how this happens and how I can
reverse it without closing and re-opening?

From the Tools menu, select Options, then the General tab. See if the "Zoom
on roll with IntelliMouse" box is checked.

Thanks for your response Eileen.
It's not checked, and checking it doesn't do it. It isn't a mouse roller
issue but a alide bar. Also, it doesn't zoom - it expands and contracts the
window.
