In answer to the part on the subject line:
With your mouse and keyboard

In answer to the part in the text body of your posting
Please describe the problem
How do you know you have a problem, describe it to us
What is the file extension on the file
What version of Excel do you have, what version created the file.
What messages do you get
Did you ask the person who sent you the spreadsheet, they could
probably help you more than we can.

If you don't know the person who sent you the spreadsheet or
don't know why you got it -- you should probably not touch it.
There is no anti-virus program that is going to be up to date or
be able to catch everything. .

It is possible that the sheet you are trying to modify is protected. Try
clicking ToolsProtectionUnprotect Sheet from the main menu bar. this
should allow you to enter data into the cells unless a password is
required. If the action of 'unprotecting sheet' requires a password,
you must enter it. If you do not know the password, you are out of
luck.
