cursor stuck on "+" symbol

[Guest]

When I open any Excel worksheet my cursor is immediately a "+" symbol. I
cannot get it to revert back to an "arrow". If I left click my mouse
anywhere on the worksheet I am unable to recover and have to close Excel. I
can work on a worksheet by using my arrow keys from the keyboard. Please
help.

If your cursor is anywhere within the boyndaries of the rows and columns it will
be an fat white + sign and that is normal.

Only becomes an arrow when you move it outside that area.

Is this what is happening or does it never change back to an arrow?

Or do you mean as you move the cursor around it highlights all cells as you
move?

Try hitting F8 or tapping vigorously on your wheel of the mouse.
