Cell Editing
 

How to you set the program to allow cell editing followed directly by using a
cursor key instead of ENTER (like Lotus....)

Hit F2 to enter edit mode(see Edit on Status bar). Arrows will move within
the cell.

Hit F2 again to enter "Enter" mode(see Enter on Status bar). Arrows will take
you out of the cell.

Look at the bottom left corner of the Excel window while you are typing an
entry in a cell. When it says "Enter" the arrow keys will select another
cell. When it says "Edit" the arrow keys move the editing cursor within the
cell. To switch between the two press F2. This is, btw, very similar to
1-2-3.
