how to use cursor to navigate active cells

[rwg]

With our Excel 2003, I could navigate to different cells by using the
cursor keys. The cursor up key moved the active cell up. Left, right
and down moved the active cell in the appropriate direction. I could
select multiple cells by holding the shift key down and using the
cursor keys to start selecting large groups of cells.

Now, with Excel 2007, the cursor keys move the sheet around in the
window, instead of moving the active cell in the indicated direction.
I have found no way to select multiple cells.

How can I get my Excel 2007 cursor keys to move the active cell,
instead of moving the sheet around in the window?

Sounds like your "Scroll Lock" key was hit!

Try hitting the scroll lock key. (It works the same way in previous versions,
too.)

Hmmm, that was it. Excel even say's "Scroll Lock" in the lower left
corner.

In 10 years, I have never noticed the 'scroll lock' key being used for
anything.

Thanks
