the curser is highlighting multiple cells instead of individuals

[Guest]

The curser does not move to individual cells, it automatically highlights
multiple cells instead. I have shut down and restarted but the poblem
continues

If you see "EXT" or "ADD" on the Excel Status bar lower
right hand side in one of the small boxes then hit F8
until it goes away, or hit Shift+F8 release and select
a single cell.

If that is not the problem then see

a problem that I have not had for a very long time.

Or try tapping your wheel on the mouse if you have a wheelie mouse.
