selecting cell groups and locking up
 

Intermittent problem with Excel deciding to select a group or "array" of
cells and locking the array on the last cell in use. All program
functionality is gone and system must be re-booted to correct.

Just a wild guest...

Could it be that the mouse is sticking? Try gently banging on the mouse keys
(including the wheel mouse if you have one)--or even swapping the mouse
(temporarily???).

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately, I am using a laptop without the mouse,
so I don't think it is a sticking issue. I had heard this was a known bug,
perhaps not true. Just wondering if anyone dealt with this and how it might
get fixed. Thanks again for the idea.

You may want to try clicking the buttons on the touchpad(?) if you have that (or
equivalent).

But I don't have another idea.
