Default Keyboard arrow buttons no longer work in excel


I can no longer use the arrow buttons to move around my excel worksheets
(to change the active cell). When I click on the up or down arrows the
sheet itself moves up or down, however the active cell remains the
same. I have looked in the "Tools" - "Options" area to see if I need
to set or reset something but cannot find anything.

I can't imagine what happened (except I do have a few feline friends
who use my pc when I'm not looking!)

I would appreciate any input ...

Thanks
Bernadette

Bernadette: Check your Scroll Lock key. Is it on?

Good Luck

Bernadette,

It sounds like your Scroll Lock key is on (this key is typically
located near the Home and End keys). Turn off Scroll Lock and you
should be all set.
