I read the different ways to go to worksheets in a workbood (ctrl-pgdwn...)
so this has solved my current dilema: When I select a worksheet by clicking
on tab, the 'page' icon attaches to my cursor as if I am going to move the
sheet, but then I get stuck. Won't let me drop it or leave excel. When I go
outside the work area, it gives me the "NO" icon (circle with line). What is
happening???? I can't get rid of it no matter what I try and can do nothing
else.

Sounds like your left mouse button remains pressed down. OR you are keeping
your finger pressed on the left mouse button and moving your hand at the
same time. Just click and let go the left mouse button. What you are
describing is a move or copy the sheet command with the mouse.
