Don't know what is happening....
I'm wondering if anyone could give me an answer. Occasionally, when opening
an Excel worksheet, I am unable to click on any cells or on the toolbars. I can't even close out the window. Wherever I move my cursor the cells become highlighted, but I am unable to click in any of them. Usually if I close the program with "end task" and reopen it the problem is gone. Today it happened in one of my worksheets. Closing it out didn't help. I opened another and had no problem. Later in the morning the same thing happened in the second worksheet. I tried opening a new worksheet and the same thing was going on there. Finally I gave up and rebooted the computer, then everything was fine. Is there a reason this happens? If so, is there a way to fix the problem without closing the worksheet? Please email answers to . Thank you for any info. |

B. Kundla, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your post, but take a look
at this site. It's a list of Excel MVP's. I'm sure your answer is in there somewhere. http://www.mvps.org/links.html#Excel -- Sincerely, Michael Colvin "B.Kundla" wrote: I'm wondering if anyone could give me an answer.
