Excel will not stop highlighting

[LissaB]

I have a user who whenever she goes into excel 2000- no matter if it is a previously created or brand new worksheet when she clicks on a cell with her mouse she cannot stop highlighting. Not only could I not stop highlighting, but I couldn't even click to exit and ended up 3 fingering saluting my way out.

Anyone else ever had this problem?


Thanks,
Lissa

I had a similar problem. The shift key was stuck, on. Try hitting it a few times or try swapping the keyboard.

her mouse wheel may be stuck

I worked with the mouse and with the shift key- all of her other apps are fine.

Thanks for the suggestions though

I'm not sure what to try next.

unplug the mouse and plug it back again.

if that doesn't work re-install the mouse driver.

she rebooted and things are okay now- I just was hoping she wouldn't have to reboot- my users have something against rebooting.

LOL

Thanks for all of your help.
