Need a macro to insert text in a cell that already has text.Excel
 

I want a macro that will allow me insert text in a cell where I have placed
my curser. Sounds easy. Hope it is. Help!

Sharon

Sub PlaceText()
ActiveCell.Value = "ABCD"
End Sub

if you mean you are editing a text string in a cell and you want to insert
text within the text string, then there is no direct support for that. For
any practical application, macros do not run when you are in edit mode.

Try copying the text string to add by selecting just the text and doing
Ctrl+c

now where your cursor is in the cell where you want it added, do Ctrl+v

Thanks, that is what I have been doing. But it seemed like an easy thing. But
I am in edit mode so it won't work then. Thanks for your help.
