software

Using Excel 2003. I did some key stroke (I thought I was doing Ctrl 1 --
guess not) and now if I click anywhere within excel, with either my left or
right mouse buttons, it acts like I am clicking-and-dragging and nothing I do
can turn off the dragging. I have to exit the program by closing from the
task bar!

None of my other office products have this behavior. Any ideas? I went
through the entire list of keyboard shortcuts and all I could think of in the
help section but I just can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Someone else had this problem a couple of days ago ...
If you look in the status bar, toward the right hand end, you'll
probably see quot;EXTquot;.
If so hit F8 to turn it off, and your problem should disappear.
Let me know if that works.

Thanks for the tip. I think it reset itself??? I had closed and opened,
turned off and on multiple times yesterday to no avail. Doing so once more
this morning everything is back to normal, so I didn't need to try out your
suggestion. Thank you very much!!
