Every once in awhile in Excel 2000 after selecting a cell it remains highlighted when moving to another cell. In fact all cells start adding to the group of highlighted cells. They all turn to the same background shading also. Any suggestions as to what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Look at the Status bar on the right side. You'll probably see EXT. This Extended mode is toggled on and off with the F8 key.

For whatever reason, sometimes this is caused by the mouse. Unplugging and replugging it back in (you may have to reboot) usually takes care of the problem. If not, you may need to replace the mouse.
