    So I can only see the top corner of my excel spreadsheet. If I move my cursor it moves off screen and I can’t view the rest of the spreadsheet.

    Anyone able to fix this?

    It’s not scroll lock as that is what google keeps suggesting

    Would really appreciate a quick answer if anyone knows..

    Freeze panes?

    Or rather unfreeze panes.

    Nah it’s not freeze panes. I tried that. I freezed panes and unfreezed even to see if that made a difference but it didn’t.

    Oldie put a goldie - did you close and restart?

    Is there a really wide column in there somewhere? Wider than the screen?

    As before, screenshot would be handy

    Ah it’s fairly simple without a picture. When I press the cursor keys they move around the spreadsheet but when I move it out of the range of what’s viewable on the screen the view doesn’t change. It just stays the same as the cursor moves off screen

    To fix this issue, you just need to turn off Scroll Lock. Look for the "ScrLk" key on your keyboard and press it once to disable Scroll Lock.

    Seems to be working although now it works with scroll lock on or off so god only knows but I’ll give you the credit. Danke.

    I thought you said it definitely wasn't scroll lock?
