The F5 option works in Excel 2003 for sure... but the issue with that is
that you have had to have already double-clicked on it once for it to work.
I have not had the opportunity to work with 2007 yet, so I am unaware if this
functionality works the same way. Basically, it is a useless task unless you
do it after you have amended the cell (or atleast been in the formula). Try
double clicking regularly in a cell, then double-clicking the border, it
should work then.

Thomas,
I couldn't get #2 below to work. When I press F5 in Excell 2007 I get a
completely blank "Go To" dialog box. Any suggestions?

Best below is F2-- prevent the problem instead of correcting it!

Kim,

There are a couple alternatives, after I searched Google for the answer.

1: You can lose Drag and Drop feature, which will stop this.
ToolsOptionsEdituncheck "Allow Cell Drag and Drop"

2:Excel remembers the last 5 moves made if you were working in a cell, say
you were working in A5, and double-click the border, takes you to cell
A16514, Press F5 and Enter, it will take you back to A5.

3: Pressing F2, instead of double-clicking.

4: Increase the Zoom on the page to eliminate this.

Other than that, there isn't anything that we can do..

Can one disable the ittirating Excel behavior of moving you to another cell
when you double click on the border of a cell?
We do a lot of in cell editing, and if one accidentally double clicks on top
border of cell, it moves you to the next empty or last occupied cell above
you. (Just like ctl+Up Arrow, etc.) This can move you to an unwanted location
far away from where you were editing.
