When I open an Excel spreadsheet, there is no "edit line." That means I have
to make all corrections in the cells, making it necessary to retype all
information in the cell. How can I restore the "edit line" in Excel
(Microsoft Office 2000)?

Hi Pat,
Click on View in the menu bar then select Formula bar.

If you are talking about the formula bar go to Tools/Options/View

Under Show put a check in the formula bar box.

I assume by "edit line" you mean the Formula Bar. Go to the Tools
menu, choose Options, then the View tab. There, ensure that
"Formula bar" is checked.
