In excel, I seem to be "locked" on a cell and unable to click off of it.
When I try to move from the cell, it highlights that cell and any others as I move the mouse. I've tried "esc" etc., but no luck. Any ideas? I hate to shut down w/o saving, but... |

thanks Gord.
Looks like I have more than just an "F8" button issue on my hands. This function somehow activates itself when it feels like it. I have started looking at mouse driver issues, OS / App patches and hardware updates. "Gord Dibben" wrote: The function is started by pressing the F8 key.
