    Any other way to edit a cell without double clicking it in Excel

    In the older versions of excel for PC you can press F2 to edit the text/formula's etc. Does anyone know what keyboard shortcut it is for 2008 for Mac's.

    When XL was originally ported from Mac to DOS/Windows, MS changed the edit cell keyboard shortcut from CTRL-u to F2. All Mac versions of XL use the original keyboard shortcut. You can find that information, and tons of other default keyboard shortcuts in XL Help ("Excel Keyboard Shortcuts"). Of course, you can reassign most keyboard shortcuts in Mac versions of XL (Tools/Customize Keyboard...), though the edit cell feature is one that can't be assigned in XL08.

    By keyboard you can do it with F2 as mentioned above. You can set your mouse to single click from Control Panel instead of Double click. Then also you can just with one click edit a cell in Excel.
