excel arrows move whole sheet

Mar 14, 2011 12:59AM PDT

This happens from time to time and is incredibly frustrating. I am using a MS Excel spreadsheet and all of a sudden, the arrow keys on my keyboard start moving the WHOLE sheet around, instead of just from cell to cell.

When this happened in the past, it would disappear as quickly as it started, but I'd like to know how to 'fix' it when it happens.

I am using Win7 and MS office 2010.


THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I had to ask that first because there are crazy things that move beyond the simple. Let's count our blessings today. (nod to Japan)
