A co-worker had an easy problem--(at least I think it's easy)--that I didn't know how to fix, so I thought I would pose the question here:

The cell selector usually moves as you press an arrow key. But in this case, whenever an arrow key is pressed, the sheet would scroll, but the cell selector remained on the same cell. It didn't matter which cell was selected, if you selected another cell the same behavior occured whenever using the arrow keys to try move to another cell. Can anyone answer this simple one?
