UNSOLVED
MS Excel problem
I just received a MS Excel spreadsheet in an email and now my MS Excel does a weird thing. When I click on a cell, it acts as though I am holding down the left mouse button and won't let me do anything else. It's like I'm trying to select a range of cells. I can't even quit the program. Only Ctrl/Alt/Delete will get me out. This is now happening on all my spreadsheets.
Help!!!!!
Thanks for the reply. I ended up re-booting my machine (should have done that earlier!!) and the problem went away. I tried your solution though and it didn't replicate my problem. With extend on, it takes 2 clicks to select a range. The problem I had was it was like I was holding the left button down because wherever I went on the screen, the cursor acted like it was trying to select a range. For example when I scrolled up to the menu bar, it would not let me access any drop down menus or even the minimize or off buttons.
Thanks,
DF

Does the Status bar show "EXT"? If so, you have the "extend"? function on; just press F8 to toggle it off.
