I am using excel 2007, on occasion when i try to select any one cell it will highlight and select multiple cells. Once this occurs it happens with every cell I click on.

I have heard, but cannot confirm, that some people with this problem have found that altering the zoom level (slider in lower right corner of Excel window) gets the multiple seelction to go away

I found that a quick remedy for this issue to copy and paste the problematic spreadsheet into a new spreadsheet and that instantly took care of the problem.
This issue has been there for sometime, and still not being solved. Switching from page layout to normal view is not a solution since already some of us like me are used to working with the Page lay out view.
Please do something.
I'll confirm this works! I have a financial worksheet I use and this was happening while I was altering equations! Nightmare. But I enlarged the zoom to 200% and then went back down to 80% and it seems to be behaving now.
I have tried the Sticky Keys and F8 suggestions, too, but they didn't fix it for me.
I created this same problem when copying multiple rows.
To stop make sure you number lock key page is off then..Do CTRL End. It stops this problem everytime.
