Excel Mouse Pointers

Mouse Pointer Action

NORMAL Sheet Pointer – sued for selecting cells, rows, or columns. Point to the middle of the cell, column or row to ensure you are selecting the correct area.

AUTOFILL Pointer – appears when the pointer is positioned over the fill handle (the little black cross) on the bottom right corner of the selected cell(s). You can use this to copy the active cell contents to one or more adjacent cells.

MOVE Pointer – appears when the pointer is moved to any edge of the selected cell(s). You can also use this to make a single copy of the contents of a non-adjacent cell.

SIZING Pointer – appears when the pointer is over a divider on the Column or Row Heading. Use this to change the height and width of columns and rows. (Double Click to Auto Size)
