dyoung305 Yes, f8 eventually gets you back to highlighting the cell(s) you are working with, which I've never used, but just tried, since I had this problem on ONE sheet of a Workbook, after I pasted something to the sheet. But, it would be nice if you would have added a few more words. Still, it's appreciated. 🙂

Like...

Press f8 (called 'extend selection')

Select a cell (it may not highlight)

Select another cell (this should highlight the range you selected between the two cells)

Now, press Esc to unselect the range

Select the cell you want and you should see that it is now highlighted
