Excel 2007 allows you to perform various spreadsheet tasks like creating equations, organizing data, group and create tables, and many more. The Scroll Lock function will let you scroll through the Excel file while still keeping your selection in the same exact place. When you disable Scroll Lock, your selection will move as you scroll through the Excel file. Proceed to step 1 to learn how to disable Scroll Lock in Excel 2007.

Steps

Click on the Start menu. The Start menu is at the bottom-left corner of the window.

View the list of your programs. Do this by selecting the Programs tab on the Start menu window.

Select Microsoft Office. From the Programs menu, locate and click on the Microsoft Office tab.

Open Microsoft Excel. Click on Microsoft Excel from the Microsoft Office window to launch the Excel program.

Check if Scroll Lock is enabled. You will know if Scroll Lock is enabled if the words “Scroll Lock” or “SCRL” appear on the lower-left corner of the Excel window. If it doesn’t, then Scroll Lock is already disabled; if it does appear, proceed to the next step.
