Microsoft Excel 2007 highlights multiple cells

[biz_kid1]

I have an ongoing issue...various spreadsheets (none in particular...could be
one or two or all of them) will start taking on this behavior for no apparent
reason: when you click an individual cell, it highlights that cell plus
usually two to the right of it. Reformatting by using the format painter from
an unaffected cell (if you can find one at that point that hasn't been
affected) usually corrects it but it's time-consuming to manually go back and
reformat each affected cell. What causes this behavior and how can I stop it?
Or is there an easier fix for it? TIA!

Honestly can't tell you - 2007 is a Windows version & this is the Mac XL
group I'm not sure whether it's even an XL issue. It sounds more like a
Windows OS or device driver problem. You'll get better direction here:

I apologize - I originally posted in the "not sure where this went" forum and
someone pointed me to this one! thanks for the direction (and, yes, I agree
- it sounds more like a driver issue)!

i have same problem running xp excell 2007, but on my spreadsheets it
highlights the selected cell and one below it. It also happens intermittent
or randomly.

Sorry, but if you'd bothered to read the reply as well as the message you'd
know that this is not the right group for Excel 2007 issues. Note the
*.mac.* in the group address.
