You will certainly move around worksheets to check for some data and information. And except for using the mouse wheel, there are also 3 ways to move.

Method 1: Use the Scroll Bar

This is a very common method in Excel. But it is very useful in your actual manipulation. There are two scroll bars in the interface of worksheet: the vertical scroll bar and the horizontal scroll bar.

You can also click the arrows to move the interface. For example, if you click the down button of the vertical scroll bar, the worksheet will move down with the movement of a cell. Thus, if you find it’s hard to drag the bar to a certain position, you can also use those buttons. And it is the same for the horizontal scroll bar.

Method 2: Press the Mouse Wheel

In addition, if you don’t need to move, you can click the mouse or press the mouse wheel again. Thus, the mark will disappear.

Method 3: Scroll Lock

You may find that when you press the arrow key in the keyboard, the position will only move one cell instead of move downwards or to other direction. And if you need to move the worksheet, you need to press the arrow continuously. When the position reaches to the end of the row or column that shows in the interface, the worksheet will move. Hence this is very inconvenient. To solve this problem, you can press the button “Scroll Lock” on the keyboard.Scroll Lock
