...but I'll ask anyway.

Why would the arrow keys on my workstation keyboard no longer work in any Excel spreadsheets?  It doesn't matter if they're saved ones or new ones, I can't use the arrow keys to go to any other cells.

I don't recall doing anything odd or unusual while working in Excel, and this began happening this week.

Is the spreadsheet you're working on locked?

Sometimes I am having to close Excel, then relaunch it due to similar issues.

Have to say I am not a big fan of ver. 2013.  It could be my pc, but I find Excel and Word performance spotty/clunky.

Ding  Ding  Ding  We have a winner!!  Jan was correct!  I must've hit the scroll key while aiming at something else.  And, I had no idea that was one of the functions of the scroll key!  (What I never use, I have absolutely no knowledge of!!)  ;D
