Colette Killian It's your mouse! Check that.... I just had the same issue and discovered my mouse sensor was not working properly. My trackpad on my laptop worked to highlight just fine and so did a new mouse!

In my case, I think I've narrowed it down to the hard drive being full and nearly out of space. The excel file is very large with lots of data and macros. I think its a storage problem.
