How do I keep from selecting multiple cells
 

Unless I hit enter or tab, I often get 2 or more cells when I'm trying to
select only one cell. eg. I click in a cell to enter info or to add or
delete a row and I get 2 or more columns selected or 2 or more rows. The
only way I can select one cell at a time is to right click in the cell. How
do I prevent the multiple selection of cells from happening. This is very
time consuming.

I, for one, have never heard of this type of behavior before. Maybe you can
simply turn your computer of (not just restart; turn it totally off), wait a
minute for the current to fully exit all circuits, thus resetting the
workstation's memory, and then restart. If that doesn't do it for you, it
may be a setting in Excel. Check Tools Options... Look in there for
something that may look like it is causing the behavior that you are
experiencing. Just a couple of guesses.. Again, I've never heard of this
before.

Hope it works out for you.

I've since noticed that in a regular size cell if I click in left part of
cell it selects just the one cell, but if I click in the right side of the
cell it selects at least 2 cells.
In the smaller cells it automatically selects more than one cell.
I have had this problem for a long time and have tried shutting down and
re-booting and several other test fixes.
