Hi,

There used to be a field at the top of the excel worksheet in which I
could
edit a cell's
contents. It has dsisappeared and no matter what I try in Help, I can't
find
it.
As it is now, the only way I can change the contents of a cell is by
retyping everything
in the cell. I cant place the cursor into a cell and change one letter
only.
Help does mention the formula bar but it doesn't tell you where to find
it.

Sincerely,

Ralf Dieckmann
