Excel acts as if scroll lock is on when it is not
When in excel, the cursor will not allow me to click on a cel because it is
locked into one cel and can only expand by creating a large area just like it is when you have "scroll lock" on. Does anyone know what causes this problem? Do I need a new keyboard or is it an excel problem? |

Another thought .. perhaps you might have accidentally hit F8
Just hit F8 again to toggle-off the mode (extend selection) -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- "Hyehats" wrote in message ...

You might have hit F8 and entered Extend Mode. If you see EXT in the
status bar (bottom right) then hit F8 again.

This is a known (but unacknowledged by MS) problem. If your mouse
has a wheel, try clicking the wheel a few times. If your mouse is a USB mouse, disconnect and reconnect the mouse. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Hyehats" wrote in message ...
