When I am in a cell and press F2 I am no longer able to use the wheel on my
mouse to scroll up and down the page. Is it a setting that I need to change?

Actually, by pressing F2 you have entered "editing" mode for the cell that
your cursor is on. It would make sense that you couldn't scroll up and down
the page then, because Excel thinks you are trying to work within that cell
alone.

In Excel 2007, I can sroll fine with the mouse wheel while in Edit mode
(F2).

Thanks for your answers.

I have a colleague who can also scroll when he edits using the F2 fiunction.
I have changed the Allow editing directly in cells option in the Excel
Options but that did seem to make any difference for me. However it stopped
him from being to scroll while editing.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
