Excel 2007

Sometimes when editing a spreadsheet Excel gets in a mode where the
cursor selects 2 cells instead of one. I try moving, escaping, closing
the file but the mode persists. I don't know how I got in this mode or
how to get out.

Thanks,

If I understand what you are describing correcting, try pressing F8 (it is
an on/off toggle).

If Rick's F8 toggle does not help.........

Another suggestion if using xl2007 which had a bug.

Increase/decrease Zoom level a few points.

I haven't read about the multi-cell selection problem for quite a while.

Could be an update got rid of it?
