Default Keyboard arrow keys

Usually on Excel when you press the arrow keys on the keybord, it moves the
highlighted cell box.
Something has now changed so that instead of doing this it now moves the
view of the spreadsheet.
How do I get it to go back?
I assume it must be something within Tools - Options but I can't seem to
find the right bit.

Thanks

Lee.

What you are describing can occur if the 'scroll lock' key is on.

BTW Using scroll lock can be a a handy alternative to moving the mouse
to the bottom and using the scroll bars to navigate the SS. (Not
needed of course if you have a fancy mouse with sideways movement built
in).
