'sticky' cell selection

[yippeekiay]

When I select a cell it cannot be deselected and if i move my mouse it
selects all cells from the original. I cannot select a singular cell anywhere
else on the worksheet or select any other commands. Thus the name sticky. How
do I unstick my selection to carry on using the worksheet.

yippeekiay, sounds like you are in Extended Mode, EXT on in the right hand
corner or the status bay, press the F8 key to get out of it

If by move you mean not clicking on a cell and you see what
you described then see
