Nagging Question: What Does Scroll Lock Do Anyway?
Every keyboard has it, somewhere on the upper right-hand side, and frankly, it's pretty useless. It was included on the original IBM PC (where it also had little point). Nowadays, Excel is about the only app that takes advantage of it. When you engage Scroll Lock and press an arrow key, the active cell remains where it was and the entire spreadsheet moves (without Scroll Lock, the active-cell indicator moves to the next cell). But that's hardly an essential tool. The real purpose of Scroll Lock? To make the Scroll Lock indicator glow reassuringly. It makes a lovely night light.
