number lock issues are driving me crazy!

For reasons I cannot figure out, the "num lock" feature on my G4 ibook
is locked in to only work as arrows. That is, when I press the number
6 I move right one cell, and when I press 4 I move left one cell. This
is only happening in Excel. I have become addicted to inputing data
using the number pad and without it I am at a loss. If anyone has any
idea of how to fix this please let me know. Thanks!

Try pressing the shift Num lock key to turn this off. You can monitor its
state by looking in the status bar at the bottom of the worksheet.
