Don't panic - You've inadvertently turned on Scroll Lock:-) Take a look at
the Status Bar & you'll see that SCRL has a green traffic light next to it.
I don't know what type of keyboard you have but there should be a key above
the Navigation key group labeled Scroll Loc - hold down the Control or
Command key while you press it to turn the scroll lock mode off. (If you
have a laptop you may also have to hold the Fn key.)

Hi,
Thank you!
I have been a long time user of Excel and I have never seen this
before. By the way, I have an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and there is no
scroll lock key orr button on this keyboard. Knowing that is the
problem I can fix it. Thanks again. >> Stay informed about: Selection Box Doesn't Move With Arrow Keys, Sheet Does |

One way:
The most common method of toggling scroll lock is CMD-F14 >> Stay informed about: Selection Box Doesn't Move With Arrow Keys, Sheet Does |

Well, Nick, it might help if we knew which version of Excel you're using and
what *type* of keyboard is involved... For all we know it could be anything
based on the limited information you provided.
