9-3 Basic Spreadsheet Screen Operations

This section explains basic procedures for selecting cells and moving the cell cursor on a spreadsheet.

kCell Cursor

The cell cursor is the highlighting showing the cell or cells that are currently selected on a spreadsheet.

While a single cell is selected with the cell cursor, the edit box (the line above the function menu at the bottom of the spreadsheet screen) shows the contents (value, formula, etc.) of that cell. While multiple cells are selected with the cell cursor, the edit box shows the range of selected cells.

For details about selecting cells, see “Selecting Cells” (page 9-3-2).

kMoving the Cell Cursor

You can move the cell cursor with the cursor key, or by using the JUMP command.

uTo move the cell cursor using the cursor key

When a single cell is selected, you can use the cursor key to move the cell cursor up, down, left, or right.
