Hi Michele,

 

I didn't catch this problem!

A bunch of text sometimes doesn't help!

Please provide further explanation, screenshots, or the workbook itself if you can, in order to figure out the problem.

    I think you responded to a similar problem I am having in Excel.

    I am working in a worksheet.  The formatting is normal.

    Then, I get to the bottom rows and when I highlight a cell to modify it, the highlighted cell is not discreet (meaning it doesn't line up exactly to the cell I am trying to highlight) and it actually selects a cell 2 or 3 rows down.

    I can't seem to reformat it to be normal.  Any suggestions?

      HiBJA3633

       

      I guess that the cell you've selected is merged with another cell!

      Please check out this link below learn more about Merge and Unmerge cells:
