Default Continue Typing in Cell when Clicking Away

We have formatting issues so it saves me time to do it by typing. It's weird
that this only works sometimes.

Hello
There is an option in excel that seems to randomly work and not work. What I
have to do is type large numbers into excel cells and I can't possibly
remember the entire number so I will click on the cell to type a few of them
then click back on the internet to get more of the number and then clicking
back on excel to continue typing it.
Sometimes I can continue typing but other times when I click on the web
browser the excel cell closes so when I click to continue typing it overrides
what is in there to begin with. So how can I keep it open so I can just click
back and forth?

Thanks!
