Excel 2003 Select All (CTRL A)

Hi,

I have a user who has recently been upgraded from office 2000 to office
2003.

Apparently in Excel 2000, pressing CTRL and A would select all the cells
with data in (in a square)
For example if the highest numbered cell with data in was F 20 it would
select from A1 to F20

In Excel 2003 it just seems to select the entire sheet.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks!

Ctrl A still does that in 2003...

This is from the help file:

-Note If the worksheet contains data, pressing CTRL+A selects th
current region. Pressing CTRL+A a second time selects the entir
worksheet.-

Make sure you are within the current region

Ctrl+* (use the * on the numeric keypad) this also select current region.
As mentioned below make sure you have clicked inside the region first.
