How do I stop Excel from selecting more than one cell when clicked

[LoriDHA]

Everytime I choose one cell it selects a block of cells and I don't know why.

Hi,

Tap F8

You might be in the extend mode..Press function key F8 to toggle that setting.

If this post helps click Yes

Just press F8, It will be resolved. Unknowingly you might have pressed F8
and due to that the cursor put into Extention mode. If you press the F8
again it will be switched off OR you can use Esc also to get out of that.

If this post helps, Click Yes!

If using Excel 2007 and the F8 trick does not resolve the problem.

Change the Zoom level a few points up or down.

Especially if in Page Layout View

I had the same issue, now I know why, my cells where maybe to small for the view I had (which was 100% anyway, Microsoft should change that), just zoom it out a bit and now selects only one cell. Thanks
