Hello,
I searched the keyboard shortcuts for this and could not find it. Wha
I want to do is edit the text (add to it, not simply replace it) in
cell without having to click the mouse on the text in that cell. I
you are on a cell, and simply start typing, it deleted the curren
contents of that cell... if I want to edit it and include what ha
already been typed, i have to double click the mouse on the cell, t
move the curser to the end of the text. Can I do that with a keyboar
shortcut?
Thanks,
Dav
