excel help

[RopeyLopey]

I did something and right now when I am pressing arrows, I am shifting the whole sheet - pressing arrows does not move the active cell.

What shall I do to put it back into order, i.e. pressing arrows=moving the active cell?
thanks

how's the cell formatted? do you have text wrapping? is it a formula? text? function?

[RopeyLopey]

it is apparently format-independent.

[Aeroplane]

go to edit, clear, all formats, and see if that helps. it sounds like the cell could be formatted weird. see if that works.

[RopeyLopey]

it is still the same.

thanks, but I often found it's faster to ask Netphoria

the scroll lock key would have also worked

It was for additional elaboration. I couldn't figure out what you did and I use excel fairly often.

thanks for making me feel less stupid. I bet we all have these little moments of total embarrassment sometimes.

"oh, and don't forget that time you were using excel! when you couldn't figure out, wait...do you want to tell it or should i? ok, i'll go. well you know how when you press the arrow keys and...."

yup - i had someone ask me the exact same question at work, and they said they'd never ever touched that key on purpose in their life... so its no surprise that people dont know what it does.

[bardy]

oh my laptop didnt have a scroll lock key, I see it on the keyboard here at work.

well I am one of these guys as well, then - I guess I touched it by mistake while reaching for PrintScreen
