    Adding text to a cell that already has text

    Hello,

    This might sound extremely simple to some, but it is a question that I have never had answered. Currently, I have some wording within a cell. I would like to add some more wording without erasing the text that is already in it. I am aware of double clicking on the cell to enter more text, as well as entering text in the function box, but is there a set of keys that you can press in order to do the same thing? I am trying to be as efficient as possible.

    Thanks

    if you are not averse to VBA, you could have a macro that captures the existing content of a cell and appends that to "overwriting" content in the same cell.
    - i.s.z -
    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.

    I think I figured it out. The F2 key puts the cursor directly after the last character placed in that cell.
