Accidental multiple cell pick selection

While working on Excel the mouse suddenly starts to select 4 cells in a
column. I can't get it to only select a single cell. I've spent a lot of
time searching Help and this knowledge base for a solution? Probably
something really simple but I need help!
 
Not that I recall. I've tried various combinations of CTRL, ALT, etc. to try
and undo this and nothing seems to help. Also tried double clicking, right
clicking, etc.

Help files bring up nothing about "multiple cell selection" with a mouse
pick. Is this a Windows problem and not an Excel one?
 
Hi,

1. First thing to try is pressing Esc. If you accidently press F8 you may
be in Extend mode. Esc or pressing F8 again will take you out. The word Ext
usually appears on the Status bar when you are in extend mode.

2. If the above fails - save your work and close out of Excel and reopen it.
