How can I stop Excell selecting multiple rows?
 

Recently when I want to highlight one cell or one row in a spreadhseet
(Office Excel 2007) I find the cursor will only highligh 3 or 4 cells
vertically, or 3 or 4 rows vertically. Suggestions to remedy this pelase?
I've tried re-loading and restarting Excfel but that does not fix the problem.

Hi

Sounds like you are in Extended Mode.
Press F8 to toggle this mode off

Try setting the Zoom level a little lower.

The multiple cell selection is a bug in Excel 2007.

The zoom-changing appears to fix it.

I don't have 2007 but many postings have made the suggestion and it seems to
work.

Hi Gord

I hadn't noticed postings about that.
I haven't experienced it in 2007 myself, but I seldom change zoom levels.
