troubleshooting question - multiple cells

[bronzeboar]

Hi,

I am using Excel 2003. I have a coworker (we are all networked) who is using Excel and when she tries to select a cell with her mouse, its selecting four at a time. She only wants one cell.

When I had her try to move around using the arrow keys, not a problem. But try to choose a cell anywhere on the grid and she gets four, usually vertical. I had her move around the worksheet using the arrow keys, then hold the Shift key down to select multiple cells. That worked. But when she clicked on it to format that selection, it automatically selected the four cells below it instead.

Had her try the old fashioned, turn it off...wait and turn it on...to no avail. Any ideas? It's not happening on my desktop or our other coworkers.

Thanks!

Looks like there are more with the same condition. This link provides some suggestions and probable causes.
