Everytime i select a cell in excel, it automatically selects 5 additional
adjacent cells to. How do I stop this?

Try setting the Zoom level a little lower.

The multiple cell selection is a bug in Excel 2007.

The zoom-changing appears to fix it.

I don't have 2007 but a few postings have made the suggestion and it seems
to work.

Here is one such posting.
