    Lost ability to change spelling and numbers in worksheet.

    My worksheets have customer names, addresses, phone numbers, dates, prices etc. To make a correction or change to the data in a cell the selected cell would normally be shown in a larger cell at the top of the document and it is there I can use the cursor and type additional characters etc.or simply correct errors. But that is not appearing and I can find no way to make changes.

    The bar at the top (Toolbar?) seems to have no way to do that either, though I've searched. There are buttons there that I never use and would be quite happy to reduce the number of those but I don't know how - I'd be very pleased to get help to do that but for now making the changes I've described are essential to me.
    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    You're welcome!

    You probably accidentally hit the keyboard shortcut for that function.
