Hello,
I am using Excel 2000. I am tring to move from one cell to another in Excel by using the arrow keys on my keyboard but nothing happens. I was always able to move up, down, right or left using the arrow keys but this problem just started out of the blue.

Hi DaisyE,

Just check whether your Scroll Lock is in ON position.


That was it. I didn't even know I had turned on my Scroll Lock - Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you, the scroll lock was on! best answer is yours.
Just disable/OFF it by pressing SCROLL LOCK key on your keyboard
Awesome, thank you!!
Thanks
I have the full size flat Mac keyboard. It's the F14 key to lock/unlock the scroll.
Thanks a bunch! I googled for help with this Scroll Lock issue, and got to your answer!

Thanks again!

Press your Scroll Lock key, should be near your numbers keys. It may have accidentally gotten pressed earlier and lock keys so they wouldn't scroll.

THANKS!
Restore an older version of the file you are working in. All should be well. Worked for me.
