How come my arrow keys no longer work to move cells in an excel worksheet?
Q. I used to be able to press the up, down, left, and right arrows in order to navigate individual cells in an Microsoft Excel worksheet. Now, however, the arrow keys merely move my view of the worksheet; the highlighted cell remains static. Any ideas? Thanks.

A. You probably accidentally hit the "Scroll Lock" key on you keyboard. Try turning it off.
