Excel Mouse Selection Problem

[Paulo Silva]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a strange problem with Excel 2000. After i click for the first
time my left mouse button, the mouse enters selection mode, as if i was
pressing the shift key.
I've browsed the net for a solution, even the MS support site with no
success.
Has anyone ever had this problem? Or has a clue of what could be appening?

Thanks in advance,

Paulo Silva

Maybe you accidentily pressed F8 (Extend Selection)?

If not the Extended or Add mode F8 or SHIFT + F8 fix.......

More suggested fixes for this at David McRitchie's site......

Hi Paulo

Among the "twilight zone" problems might or might not be
- speech recognition is activated and something is generating random commands (probably
not with 2000);
- wireless keyboards or mice of same brand/frequencies are operating nearby.
