    How can I edit a cell without using the mouse?

    Hi,

    After selecting a single worksheet cell with my keyboard arrow keys, I want to press a keyboard button which transports me to the white cell edit field (just below the menu) so I can edit the cell.

    The only way I know of doing this is by clicking on the cell edit field with my mouse. Icky.

    How can I edit a cell without using the mouse?

    I use Excel 2007 if it's any help.

    I'd appreciate any tips.

    Cheers,

    Dougal

    Hi doogooroo,

    You can press the F2 key to edit the cell directly. It doesn't take you to the field below the menu bar, but it will allow you to add/remove/modify whatever is in the cell as if you were in that field.
