    annoying problem with excel mouse pointer

    drag and drop works when the cursor changes to an arrow as it is placed on the edge of the cell. If it a single cell just watch for the change and then press the left mouse to pick it up and move to the next place. If it is more than 1 they must all be part of the highlighting.
