If I make a typing error, or want to copy a heading to different cell, I find
the only option is to delete the contents of the cell and retype elsewhere.

Help, please.

Select a cell, press ctrl+c, select new cell, press ctrl+v. You will have
just copied one cell to another while maintaining the content of the
original cell. Using ctrl+x will cut from one cell and then you can use
ctrl+v to paste it where you want. It works just like in word.
