When I first open a spreadsheet and click on a cell of interest, the cell's content appears in the EXCEL CONTENTS BOX of the FORMULA BAR, as I would expect. I can then move my cursor to a place within this 'edit box' and highlight the portion of the cell that I want to make bold, underline, italicize, change color, etc...with no difficulty. However, lately, I can no longer do this (i.e., when I click on a cell and go up to the 'edit box' the cursor can ONLY be placed at the end of the cell's content and I cannot left-click and highlight the cell's contents at all to edit it as I used to be able to. I am, however, able to backspace and hit the spacebar or start typing, but highlighting is not available.
Also, sometimes the cursor is on top of a character and it is not clear if I am about to edit the character before or after it!?!
There is plenty of cpu and ram available so that's not the issue. If I close and reopen the spreadsheet that sometimes corrects my problem, so it does prove that the cell is not corrupt.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
Dan
