Excel for Mac (v16.57) has turned arrow curser to a cross.

Arrow returns when the touchpad is clicked or Command V but as soon as you use it, it returns to a cross. This just happened as it was always an arrow before. The cross symbol is too big when selecting small cells.

delete key and arrows not working Hi, in excel on my mac, the delete key and arrows don't seem to work. I go to edit a cell, the curser is at the end of the text, when I click in the middle to edit a minus sign to a times symbol for example, and either delete or use the arrow keys, it just takes the curser to the start of the text in the cell. It won't let me delete or move the curser.

Moving a blank cell in Excel on my MacBook Air Hi, Just an unimportant (but annoying) issue I'm having using using excel on my Mac... When I move to a blank cell (using the navigation keys on the keyboard) and then hit 'enter', I can obviously start typing in the cell. The problem comes though, when I want to edit a cell that already has text in it. When this happens, I use the navigation keys to move to the cell, I hit enter, and the the text in the cell is deleted! Is there a key I can hit (or a combination of keys) instead of 'enter', that will bring the cursor to the end of whatever is already in a cell so that I can add to it or edit it? (I know I can use the mouse or trackpad to click into the cell but I am looking for a way to do this on the keyboard so that I don't have to keep returning to the mouse constantly). Thanks!

You should direct your Excel implementation questions to Microsoft who is responsible for that product on macOS.
