When I select a table cell, all cells get highlighted

When I select a single cell in a table, all cells from the upper left corner
to my selected cell gets highlighted. I have to click again to unselect the
group of cells to edit my target cell. Is this a setting somewhere that got
toggled on? I'm running Vista. The same slide at work, XP SP3, doesn't run
into this problem.
 
I'm sorry, M Kan: are you sure you're in the correct discussion group? This
disccusion group is for PowerPoint.

This is the right group. I have a table in Powerpoint, that is 3 columns
wide and 8 rows deep. For example, when I click on the 3rd column, 4th row
to edit some text, Powerpoint highlights all 12 cells from the upper left
hand corner to my target cell. When this happens, I have to left click once
in the target cell to make the rest of the highlighted cells de-select. It
only takes a little bit of extra time, but is very annoying as it's possible
to overwrite other information if I'm not careful.

This is NOT an Excel object.
 
M Kan,

I apologize that it has taken long for me to reply to this post. I'm afraid
I cannot repro the problem that you're experiencing. You may want to check
your mouse settings (Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse).

I wish I could be more help.

I experience the same problem. So does my colleague, and we are running Windows 7 and Windows Vista respectively. It is extremely annoying and almost makes it impossible to work with tables in PowerPoint.
