    Question Highlighting

    I am starting a new spreadsheet and when i click in a cell and move the mouse it starts highlighting. Is there a setting that I need to turn off or on?

    Do you have Scroll lock on?

    Are you holding the mouse button down as you move around?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    It's a keyboard key.. usually near the Break or Print Screen keys.

    There should be a light on your keyboard indicating if it is on or off (near the CapsLock and NumLock identifiers) the icon looks like a pushpin...

    Maybe a screen shot or something to show what you are seeing.
