Tell them to try deleting temp files, then run scandisk and
reboot....then try Excel again

If they don't know how to delete temp files, send them here:

Report back and let us know if this fixed it or not and we can dig
deeper....or tell them to join this group.

Subject: [mso] Highlighting stuck on in Excel 97



I am forwarding a question that a colleague had posted to another list
but
did not receive any replies.  Perhaps this list will be more suited.
Hope
someone can help.  Thanks.  Dianne
****Question follows******
Whether I enter a new spreadsheet or an old one, as soon as I click on
a cell, the highlight feature comes on and can not be deleted.  The
only way I can get out is to use the task manager.  Neither Alt nor
Ctrl + F4 work once the file is locked.  My mouse appears to be
working fine in all other programs and the keyboard does not have any
keys that are sticking down.  I checked for viruses - nothing shows.

I can move and edit comments with no prob.

I am using Windows XP and Excel 97.

Any ideas as to what is causing this?
