Default Arrows moving page, not cells

When I try to move to another cell by pressing my arrows, it actually moves
the spreadsheet on my screen instead. I can't find the option to correct
this. Does anyone know where I can change that?

Thanks,

try hitting the "scroll lock" button on your keyboard.

Yep, that did it for me.

Thank-you so much, Sloth.

What if I'm using MAC? How do I scroll lock?

Did you receive an operator's manual with your MAC?

Should find the info in there.

The scroll lock function can be triggered in the On-Screen Keyboard. This
application is normally found in Start - Programs - Accessories -
Accessibility
Clicking on the 'scroll lock' in the On-Screen Keyboard should have the same
function as pressing a physical scroll lock key.
