Make "Edit" mode default, rather than "Enter"?

Greg Boettcher

I am using Excel 97.

When I enter some new text and then push the left arrow key, Excel
assumes I want to go to the cell to the left. This really annoys me a
lot. I know this happens because when you start typing text, you're
automatically in Enter mode rather than Edit mode. And I know this is
fixable by hitting F2 before hitting the left arrow key. But it annoys
me a lot that I have to do this.

So, my question is, is there any way to make it so that when you start
typing new text in a blank cell, it automatically takes you to "Edit"
mode rather than "Enter" mode?
