What does Scroll Lock Do?
Have you ever wondered how to use the Scroll Lock button
at the top of your keyboard? In Microsoft Excel, the scroll
lock is a useful navigation option.
Typically, with scroll lock off, you use the arrow keys to move
the active cell pointer around a fixed worksheet. The active
cell location changes with each arrow key pressed.
When you use the scroll lock option, the active cell pointer
remains in the current cell and the sheet moves rows or
columns depending on the direction of the arrow key
pressed.
This option is very useful when you want to view other areas
of the spreadsheet without losing your current active cell
position.
