Hi Fellow Excel Addict,

Welcome to another edition of "Spreadsheet Tips From An Excel Addict."

When I started my website and newsletter six months ago, my goal was to help share my knowledge and experience in Excel with as many people from around the world as I could. Isn't it amazing that you and I share something in common with people in almost every country in the world? Just this past week we had new subscribers join us from Spain, Jamaica, Chile, Turkey, Canada, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Denmark, Ecuador, Columbia, South Africa, Great Britain, India, Australia, and USA.

I want to welcome all new subscribers to my newsletter and hope that you will also share this newsletter with your 'Excel-using' friends and colleagues. It is with your help sharing this information that this newsletter can have the biggest impact.

Don't forget, if you've recently joined the newsletter, drop by my website TheExcelAddict.com to catch up on all the past tips.

Congratulations to Apollo Tigalo from the Philippines who is the latest winner in my T-shirt Contest.

This week I have three more tips that I hope you find useful.

Have a great week.

To Your Success!
Francis Hayes (The Excel Addict)

Editing the contents of a cell is a common task in Excel where most users unnecessarily switch from 'keyboard mode' to 'mouse mode' because they don't know the keyboard shortcut. When you want to edit the active cell, simply press F2.

Once you are in edit mode, you can use your arrow keys to move around the formula bar. Pressing the HOME key brings you to the beginning of the formula. Pressing the END key brings you to the end. Holding down the SHIFT key while pressing an arrow key selects text. Holding down the CTRL key while pressing the arrow keys moves the cursor one full word at a time. You can also use a combination of CTRL+SHIFT+arrow key.

These shortcuts also work with many other programs. Just try them and see what you've been missing.

Please help me spread the word about my newsletter. If you know other Excel users, please tell them about "Spreadsheet Tips From An Excel Addict". I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Maybe you know someone who supervises or employs many Excel users. That's where your referral could have a big impact.

VERY IMPORTANT: Please refer only people you know personally, who use Microsoft Excel and would benefit from this newsletter.

To move from one field to the next in a dialog box, simply press the TAB key. You will notice the active field or button is highlighted. Most dialog boxes have been designed with this in mind so that when you press TAB you will automatically jump to the next logical field. To move backwards to a previous field, hold down SHIFT as you press TAB.

This is a useful trick for surfing the Net and just about any other program in Windows.
