Arrow Keys Acting Wierd

This is an odd question, I know, but recently my Excel program has undergone a change and I don't know how to reverse it.

Entering in my store data, I need to be able to rapidly move from cel to cel. Used to be I could hit my arrow key and it would immediately move me to the next cel, be that up, down, left, or right.

Something happened the other day. I opened up the program, filled in one cell, and hit the arrow button. Instead of moving to the next cel, it moved the status bar at the bottom of the page, scrolling me over to the next column without actually moving the selected cel. I've been working in Excel for several years and never hit this behavior before. Can anyone assist?

Hit the Scroll lock again

Hi,
I am Alauddin.
I have a problem using Excel.
When I press the arrow button. Instead of moving to the next cel,
it moved the scroll bar at the bottom of the page, scrolling me over to
the next column without actually moving the selected cel.

So any can help me? I will be greatfull to you.



Thanks

Your scroll lock key is probably on. Turn it off. (It is
typically located above the Home and End keys.)

You have pressed the scroll lock key. Press it again to unlock it.
