How can I keep my cursor from being captured in excel?

When working in Excel suddenly my cursor "gets captured" by becoming a plus
sign and no matter where I try to move it it just keeps on highlighting cells
forever. How can I turn this funtion off?

Do you see "EXT" on the status bar?

If so, hit F8 key to get out of extended mode.

If you see "ADD" hit SHIFT + F8

If using a wheelie mouse, try tapping the roller up and down a few times.
