My text in a cell disappears when I add more later on in Excel

[Marcy]

While in Excel when I want to make corrections or add something in a cell
later on, all text disappears when I try to insert the new text

Excel is set up to overwrite data in a cell. There are two ways around this:

1. You can double-click in the cell that contains the data you want to
change or add to, and then place your cursor in the place you want to begin
typing.

2. Select the cell in which you want to change/add content to and then
click in the formula bar (where the cell content is displayed) in the place
you want to change/add content.

*Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!*

Just hit the F2 key to edit the contents of a cell.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.
