Excel on a Mac - F2

Has anyone else moved from Windows to a Mac and thought - I almost got away from Microsoft?


WhenI moved to a Mac, I installed Microsoft Office 2011 so that I had zero incompatibilities with the poor folk in my organisation, and my clients,, who are shackled to Microsoft Office.


The good news is that it worked!


I had a lot of teething problems with Excel and Word crashing when I tried to copy/paste, but this was fixed in Service Pack 1.


Since then it has been smooth sailing - all my Excel/Word docs are 100% compatible with their Windows counterparts.


I have been frustrated by one issue in Excel though - in Windows, if you want to edit the current cell you are in - you just press F2, and you're away!


Not so on a Mac, however!
I have finally found the same shortcut on the Mac version of Excel and it has made using Excel that much quicker!


So here for all is the Mac version of the shortcut key to edit the current cell in Excel:
Ctrl+U - Control plus U.


I really hope this helps others as much as it has helped me - but I honestly don;t care if it doesn't - I'm happy again now...  :)
