I'm having trouble with the cursor clicking on 1 cell and 4 or 5 cells below
also getting highlighted. This doesn't happen on the whole page, only on a
few at the bottom of the page. Anywhere else, I can cllick on one cell and
it's the only cell to get highlighted. What is the problem?

Hi,
Check if you don't have conditional formating in that cells

Try setting the Zoom level a little lower or higher.

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.

Post back please to confirm if this works or is bogus advice.
