I'm going through some lecture notes, Fundamentals of Mathematica Programming (see the .nb file there). I'd like to be able to do the exercises right there in the notebook; but for some reason I can't figure out how to make the default cell an Input cell. In other words, when I'm clicking in that notebook to create a new cell--in the exercises--the cell is by default a text cell. I'd like for it to be an Input cell so that I don't have to manually change it each time. Ideas?
Ah, unfortunately I'm working with 5.2. I can't find anything similar to what you describe. That's too bad, because "Style of newly typed cells" would have been too easy! So, otherwise, yes, I've downloaded the .nb file from above link and it looks like an edited stylesheet, whose preferences have been changed to text all the way around.If you have any other ideas, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I edited my answer to include a possible fix for 5.2 =)
