Default Excel will not allow any keystrokes into any cell on a sheet

Sheelo:

Thanks for your response. I mistyped my original question. The field with
the incorrect data, I was able to delete this out. Now as I said, I can not
enter into any field but I can go into a field and delete its contents. I
still need help.

You must be in edit mode.

Press ESC key to get out of edit mode.

Click and hold to select the cell which is giving you problems. Choose
Edit|Clear All to delete everything in the cell.

Or you can Right-click and choose Remove Hyperlink

Always provide your feedback so that others know whether the solution worked
or problem still persists ...

I need help to determine how I "locked" excel from accepting any keystrokes
into the cells on a worksheet. I was keying into a cell and accidently
entered an @ when I meant to key a %. I went to select the field and it
threw me out to email as it thought it was an email address I had keyed. I
then went back to the spreadsheet, held the cursor down to select the field
and then just hit delete. The entry was not gone, but I am unable to key
into the spreadsheet. Even if I bring up a new blank spreadsheet, I can not
key into any of the cells. What can I do to correct this
