Default Blue Border and Down to the right arrow - BIZARRE DON'T KNOW

I don't believe so. Just the one column was like that and the rest were
absolutely normal. Also if it were in print preview mode, you wouldn't see
columns, with headers (A,B,C,D etc) you'd see just the page as printable.
Now, in Page Break mode that sounds right but the area being printed is
always the one surrounded by blue, and the rest is grayed out. Nothing was
grayed out, even outside the blue border on just the one column.

I will confirm this later, but I am 99.9% positive that Print Preview mode
is NOT what's happening.

Seems to me the file is set in print preview mode. Try clicking on View from
the toolbar and going to Normal

Hello,
A co-worker of mine received an excel file in the mail with one column
highlighted or bordered in blue lines (though the borders in format cells
were cleared). When he went to the upper right corner of the top most cell
in the column, the arrow became 45deg angle down to the right.

We have no idea what this is. Can you please enlighten?

Excel 2003 on XP Pro.

Thanks.
