Default 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.

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.
