When I opened excel (XP) the past few times I can enter text an
navigate with the keyboard. Once I use the mouse (then one on th
laptop or external connection, the table acts as if shift is held dow
and highlights cells as the mouse moves. I cannot enter any text o
exit the worksheet area at this point. I have to close excel.

Any ideas what the problem could be? It started one time I opene
excel and does this for any files opened
 
Thanks so much for your help. I'm not sure exactly what worked but
tried F8, and although it didn't work, once I closed excel, reset m
mouse settings and went back in, all was well. I will keep th
recommendations in the event the occurrence happens again
 
Tamarind, sounds like you are in EXT mode, try pressing F8 and see if this
helps

I know it's an old thread, but the link from RagDyer helped, I clicked on the scroll wheel, then un-clicked it and the mouse seemed to straighten its self out after that
