I dont know what happened to my laptop a few days ago. But now everytime I open an old Excel file or try to work in a new one I have one problem. Every freakin time I click on a freakin cell, the cursor locks or something and everything gets highlighted as I move my mouse around. I can't type anything or get away from that locked cell. Then I have to close that file. Somebody help me!
Weird. Wish I could help, but I have no clue. I trust your mouse button isn't sticky or anything. Good luck.
It sounds like your shift key is "stuck". When this happens, try hitting Shift + Ctrl, that should kill the problem.
Extended selection mode (EXT on the Status Bar) is selected. Press F8 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307812/en-us)
Tried hitting the shift and ctrl key and didnt work. F8 didnt work either. i cant even click on any tabs because the mouse keeps scrolling. I really need to use excel for work and me ****ed.
