How do I stop cells from being selected in Excel 2003
 
In Excel 2003 when I click on a cell it selects the cell just like it should.
However, when you move the mouse after doing this it continues to select
every cell between the one you selected and the Pointer Arrow. It is acting
very much like the Ctrl Key is stuck in a pressed condition. I have switched
out the keyboard and the mouse as well as uninstalled and reinstalled Office
2003. None of this fixed the problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what
it may be?
