how to edit cells
Hi,
There used to be a field at the top of the excel worksheet in which I could edit a cell's contents. It has dsisappeared and no matter what I try in Help, I can't find it. As it is now, the only way I can change the contents of a cell is by retyping everything in the cell. I cant place the cursor into a cell and change one letter only. Help does mention the formula bar but it doesn't tell you where to find it. Sincerely, Ralf Dieckmann |

how to edit cells

With a cell selected: F2 should put the editing cursor in-cell. F2 is also useful in some dialog boxes. For instance, when editing RefersTo: addresses in the Names dialog, F2 will get you out of PointTo mode and into Edit mode. Getting out of PointTo mode allows you to use left-right arrow keys to move around the too-narrow input area without creating a mess of the reference. -- HTH, George "T. Valko" wrote in message ...
