Discuss how to correct errors after entering data into a cell using in-cell editing.
What will be an ideal response?
If the entry is short, select the cell, retype the entry correctly, and then click the Enter button or press the RETURN key. The new entry will replace the old entry.
If the entry in the cell is long and the errors are minor, using Edit mode may be a better choice than retyping the cell entry. Double-click the cell containing the error to switch Excel to Edit mode. In Edit mode, Excel displays the active cell entry in the formula bar and a flashing insertion point in the active cell.
With Excel in Edit mode, you can edit the contents directly in the cell - a procedure called in-cell editing. Make changes using in-cell editing, as indicated below.
(1) To insert new characters between two characters, place the insertion point between the two characters and begin typing. Excel inserts the new characters at the location of the insertion point.
(2) To delete a character in the cell, move the insertion point to the left of the character you want to delete and then press the FN-DELETE key or place the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete and then press the DELETE key. You also can use the mouse to drag through the character or adjacent characters you want to delete and then press the DELETE key or click the Cut button in the Standard toolbar.
(3) When you are finished editing an entry, click the Enter button or press the RETURN key.
