Look at the bottom left corner of the Excel window while you are typing an
entry in a cell. When it says "Enter" the arrow keys will select another
cell. When it says "Edit" the arrow keys move the editing cursor within the
cell. To switch between the two press F2. This is, btw, very similar to
1-2-3.
