grouping instead of single cell
Hi.. didnt quite know where to paste this question. but i was wondering if
anyone has been having the same problem with their vista and excel 2007. Sometimes, quite randomly if i click on a single cell a group of cells will highlight or if i want to delete a row, two will highlight. doesnt happen all the time but enough to make it tedious. Ive check edit in cell and ive checked cell groups and now im out of ideas. Would appreciate it if someone could help! |

Maybe the cells are merged?
Maybe you have EXTend mode turned on. Hit F8 to toggle it on/off. Maybe the mouse buttons are stuck??? misscharliebrown wrote: Hi.. didnt quite know where to paste this question. but i was wondering if anyone has been having the same problem with their vista and excel 2007.

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 a few postings have made the suggestion and it seems to work. Here is one such posting. http://tinyurl.com/3wofsf Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 3 Nov 2008 21:54:00 -0800, misscharliebrown wrote: Hi.. didnt quite know where to paste this question. but i was wondering if anyone has been having the same problem with their vista and excel 2007.

okay tried. changed zoom to 100% worked for maybe 20 clicks. No mouse is not
stuck. but its almost like the shift key is stuck. because once the multi cells get selected its impossible to move to a cell above it. Ive read some of the other postings im glad its not just me ( im a clutz at the best of times). "misscharliebrown" wrote: Thanks Ill try.

If occuring randomly, it can't be that the F8 key has been touched to place
you into EXTended mode. Seems to occur in 2007 but I have no other ideas. Gord On Wed, 5 Nov 2008 20:13:01 -0800, misscharliebrown wrote: okay tried. changed zoom to 100% worked for maybe 20 clicks.
