Excel worksheet is locked into hightlighting blocks & I can't get
 
I must have inadvertently locked something in 2003 excel as when I move
cursor in ANY spreadsheet, I cannot move the cursor without hightlighting a
blue box around one cell when I use the arrow keys. NEver, Ever, had this
happen and been using spreadsheets since SuperCalc !!!
Please, somebody if you have an answer, let me know ASAP as I have already
pulled out all my hair.......Thanks.

Try tapping F8 and see if it goes away

If pressing F8 (Extend Select) doesn't correct it, you may have accidentally
activated StickyKeys. Press the Shift key 5 times quickly to toggle in/out of
StickyKeys.

Hope this helps,
