Default why does right click on row bring up save as?

In Excel, I used to be able to right click on the left side of a column on a
worksheet and it would select the entire row. I could then copy the contents
to another worksheet. Now when I right click, the Save As box opens. I
don't know what happened to change that and how to make it stop. Please
help. I'm using Excel 2002 SP-1.

Hi newbie consultant

Try this

Maybe you have a corrupt or bloated xlb file *normal* size is < 30 kb.
The .xlb file has all Toolbar customization in it.

1. Close Excel
2. Do a search for .xlb in Windows (Use: search hidden files and folders)
3. Rename or delete the .xlb file or files (In 2002 the name = Excel10.xlb)
4. Start Excel

Deleting the file or renaming will do no harm on your system
Excel will create a new one for you.
(You lost your customization remember that)

If you make your own toolbars or add buttons to the others
this file is important (backup it so you can restore it)

Perfect! This really helped. The .xlb was at 51 kb. Thanks!
