Blue Cells
I have just started using Excel, setting up some basic forms. After doing a
few forms I have been geting light blue cells appearing whenever I click on those cells. The same thing happens when I click on a row. I cannot find a way of stopping these appearing. |

Blue Cells
This is quite normal and happens, when you select more then one cell (a
range) all cells within that range, also bordered by a thick line, "turn blue". This phenomen disappears when you select a single cell. -- Felix "ptg23963" wrote: I have just started using Excel, setting up some basic forms.

One other guess. Try pressing F8 once, to toggle off "EXT" mode.
You might have hit F8 accidentally earlier. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "ptg23963" wrote: I have just started using Excel, setting up some basic forms.

Thanx Max,
By shutting down and re-opening Excel, it cleared the problem. I will keep F8 in mind if it happens again "Max" wrote: One other guess. Try pressing F8 once, to toggle off "EXT" mode.
