Adding data to cells

S

Hi,

I used to be able to double-click on a cell to get a cursor within the cell
(not in the formula bar), so I could then navigate with the cell itself to
edit the information in it.

Now I can't seem to get the text cursor to work, it stays as a white cross
and I have to edit cell information in the formula bar.

Any ideas?

This is a setting controlled by Tools | Options | Edit tab - check the
option for Edit directly in cell, then click OK.

Hope this helps.
