Cap locks and multiple selection of lines in Excell

[David]

In Office 2007, in Excell, I occasionally have the program throw a fit and
begin to select 2 or 3 lines or cells. I also notice at the same time, the
cap lock key is reversed. When it is locked, I type in lowercase and when it
is unlocked, I type in uppercase. I haven't figured out what I did to cause
it or how to reverse it. I usually save the document, close the program and
re-open or reboot. Other times in just seems to go away after a little
while. Any clues as to what is happening?

Your keyboard appears to get confused. Tapping on the following six keys,
one after the other, will usually fix the problem: Left Shift, Ctrl, Alt,
Right Shift, Ctrl, Alt.

It happened and I tried it, but nothing happened. I did discover that when
I click in the upper half of a cell, it only selects the cell, but when I
click on the lower half of the cell, it selects the lower adjoining cell too.
Is this a feature in Excel 2007 that can be turned off and on?

Best to ask an Excel newsgroup.
