I can't select non adjacent cells using the control button
For some reason I am having a terrible time selecting or highlighting a group
of cells and then using the control button and selecting another group of cells |

I can't select non adjacent cells using the control button
Are you selecting say A1:A3 then hold CTRL key and select D1:D3?
What occurs when you try? How about hitting SHIFT + F8 then selecting A1:A3 and D1:D3?

I would really like to see an answer on this. I teach Excel and on rare
occassion Excel simply doesn't work in this regard. I have the student move to another machine and do the same thing with the same Excel sheet and it works! Seems to be a myster to me |

Control key
I can select non-adjacent cells in Excel 2003 using the control key and the mouse. I cannot do this in my 2007 version of excel. This is extremely exasperating. Any ideas?

Control key
The CTRL key works just fine in XL2007, as it did in XL2003. Perhaps
you just can't see the selected cells (the color is very light and very difficult to see if there is some background color applied to a cell).
