Change in action when using the arrow keys

[Charles W Davis]

I have always used the arrow keys to move from one cell to the next. Today I
have noticed that the same cell remains in the action while the viewable
worksheet moves one cell one way or the other depending on the keyboard key
clicked.

How do I change the option?

Forgot to mention, Office Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Ultimate.

Try hitting the Scroll Lock key on the keyboard.

Try hitting the Scroll Lock key on the keyboard.

BTW, does anyone *ever* use the Scroll Lock function deliberately? I've
never found any use for it, myself.

I don't use it -- except by accident.

If I ever had a reason to use it, I haven't remembered it!
