I run Office Standard 2007 under Windows Vista and am experiencing a very
annoying problem: When I try to select only one cell or one row in my
spreadsheet and Excel selects multiple cells or multiple rows instead. Has
anyone found a solution to fixing this glitch???
Thank you so much for helping,

hi
not too sure it's a glitch. try tapping the F8 key. this is the extend
selection. it's boolean. tap once to turn on. once to turn off.

I am having this same problem and the Extended Selection feature (F8) is not
on. If anyone knows if there is an option to change in preferences or if
this is a glitch, please let me know.
Thanks
