Hard page break that won't allow me to scroll past? would love to find out ;)

[M.R.S.]

Hi all,

So I've got 500 row of data or so, and I'm trying to hi-lite them so do
stuff, but if I start dragging the mouse down, it runs off and I'm at row
10,000 before I know it! I can control the speed of it, but I was wondering
if there was a way to set a hard 'end' point to the rows, let's say at 501
or so...

This way, when I try to scroll down (basically, a scroll lock of sorts), it
won't pass where I don't have any data. I can't find any info in all the
texts that I have..

Any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Excel is so powerful, I am really
liking it!

If you know the address of the last cell of your data, you can *exactly*
select the range by:
1] Click in first cell - Click in "name box" - Enter last cell (i.e. A50) -
Hold <Shift>, Hit <Enter>

2] Click in "name box" - Enter range (i.e. A1:A50) - Hit <Enter>

Thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately, every column has different amounts of rows and it is
difficult to manage all this data. I have approximately 200 columns of data
with 500 rows (+/- 50 rows), and have about 20 workseets with this amount of
data ..

Then you're stuck with clicking in the first cell, and then use the scroll
bar to find the end of the data, and then <Shift>, and click in the last
cell.

What I occasionally do is depress my mouse scroll wheel, which gives me a 4
sided scroll icon, where I can smoothly scroll up, down, left, or right, and
then <Shift> and click in the last cell.

If you select any cell within your 500 rows of data, then press Ctrl-* (using
the asterisk on the numeric keypad), Excel will automatically select the
entire current region. Much, MUCH faster than using the mouse.
