When you "click in a cell" where is the editing insertion point?

If you just select the cell and start typing, the existing text will be
overwritten

If you double-click on the cell you should go into edit mode and be able to add
to the existing text.

Alternative..........select the cell then hit F2 to edit.

I protected a sheet because I have formulas on the sheet. So, I locked those
cells and left the rest of the cells unlocked. When the sheet is protected,
if I click in a cell and try to add text to the cell, it deletes all the
previous text. Is there any way to stop that from happening?
