Excel 2007: How to highlight only one cell

[zommbee]

Hi all,

Surely this is an easy fix - for some reason, when I click on any
cell in my Excel 2007 worksheet, it always highlights the cell below
it as well (selects both cells). If the first one I click on has text
or numbers in it, it selects the TWO cells below it plus the one
I wanted. Very annoying if you want to change font or color - since
2 (or 3) cells are selected, both (or all 3) change as well. The only
way around it is to use the arrow keys to select a cell, which is
clunky at best.

Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off? If there is I can't find
it...

Any help would be appreciated,

Dave

This sounds like a display driver issue. Office 2007 uses "new" methods for
translating mouse movements into underlying selections. It might be that
your display driver doesn't understand those new movement. I've seen similar
kinds of issues when Office 2007 was installed on one of my older computers.
After updating the display driver, however, the problem was solved.
