I'm always making manual changes to a lot of data as part of my job. One thing I've noticed is that I can use the arrow keys to browse around to different cells when viewing the data. But when I go to a new cell, the entire text in it is highlighted. How can I use my keyboard to say I want a cursor so I can modify the text without clicking in it using my mouse?

Click F2 to start modifying.

+1 Just tested in 2008 and it works here too. I also use the arrows and was trying other keys like Home and End to edit, but none worked. Thanks for F2.
