Cell selection

When attempting to select an individual cell in a worksheet sometimes Excel highlights 2 or more adjacent cells in the same column. This has happened several times on worksheets created by/received from others which I've then been editing. This happens randomly, irrespective of cell contents, and I haven't inadvertently used "drag". Is there an obvious answer on why this might happen, or it is just a gremlin?

RE: Cell selection

Hi Tina

Thanks for getting in touch. This can happen if the worksheet is zoomed out slightly. Perhaps try resetting the zoom level via View > 100% and see if that improves things.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Removing the Ribbon from view in Excel 2010

At times when you want to view the whole spreadsheet, try double clicking on the ''Home'' tab on the ribbon which will hide the ribbon from view.
