Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / March 2008Selection Box Doesn't Move With Arrow Keys, Sheet Does
Hello, I am using MS Excel 2004 for Mac. What did I do to make the Arrow Keys move the whole sheet and not the Selection Box? This is more than a little annoying. How can I stop this behavior? 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.)

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. I too have somehow accidently turned on the scroll lock on my Apple computer at school and the arrow keys move a screen at a time rather than cell by cell. I do not have have a key that says scroll lock on my keyboard. How do I turn off this fucntion? Thanks in advance (I hope.)

One way: The most common method of toggling scroll lock is CMD-F14 > In article , > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > The most common method of toggling scroll lock is CMD-F14 Thank-you. It worked ! 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.
