Excel 97 - cursor won't let go
Today when I click on a cell to enter anything, nothing gets entered but the
cursor acts like I'm trying to select a bunch of cells and keeps selecting as far as I move the cursor. Can't even let go to close Excel or click save or ANYTHING. It's as if the left click button was stuck down but it isn't because it's fine in any other program. Anyone had this happen before? Can't use Excel at all until I get it fixed. |

If beating up the poor little mouse doesn't help, gently touch the f8 key.

I guess we will just have to be mean to the mouse.

Excel 97 - cursor won't let go
I am reopening this issue. Users mouse acts like the left button is stuck,
only in Excel, every mouse, every USB port, the users profile, and my admin profile, I have repared Excel, uninstalled and reinstalled, I have uninstalled-reinstalled mouse drivers, on each one I have plugged in. I hate to reimage, but I may have to, there are just many applications she uses that are not on our image. -- TY FJB "Don Guillett" wrote: I guess we will just have to be mean to the mouse. -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Nick Hodge" wrote in message ...
