Excel 97

Greg

Hi,

I'm running Excel 97 and when I click on any cell and move
the mouse the cells highlight in the direction of the
mouse and nothing else will highlight or am able to click
on anything.

Any ideas?

Hi Greg!

A frequently experienced problem. Several possible solutions:



1. Once in this mode you'll probably see EXT in the status bar
of XL, press F8 and see if it goes away.



2. Sometimes clicking the wheel also helps.



3. Check you haven’t got a sticky key on your keyboard.



Also See numerous other possibilities at:

It was the mouse would you believe! That for whatever
reason didn't work in Excel.

Hi Greg!

It might be an old mouse or you might just need to install the right
drivers.
