Using F2 to edit a cell
I recently upgraded from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003. Now, when I press F2 to
edit a cell, the background of the cell turns blue, and pressing enter will insert a new line within the cell instead of submitting the change. This is very different from Excel 2000, and it is causing some frustrations for me. I noticed that if I hit F2 twice, the background of the cell turns yellow, and I can edit it like in 2000. Hitting F2 a third time returns it to blue. There must be an option to have it use the "yellow mode" by default instead of the "blue mode". But I can find absolutely *nothing* in any documentation about what these different modes actually mean. Could anyone fill me in? Please do not suggest that I simply press F2 twice every time I want to edit a cell. :) Thanks, DJustin |
