MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / November 2006Edit Cell Contents
I want to hit F2 to edit a cells contents and keep what was on the clipboard. > I want to hit F2 to edit a cells contents and keep what was on the > clipboard. Good for you! You should. No dave, when you copy something and then hit F2 to enter a cell and paste it it is not there. I guess the potential workaround is to hit ctrl + C twice it brings up the contents of the clipboard and all is not lost, however this still makes me reach for the mouse which I try to avoid doing. So dave do you have anyother workaround other than Ctrl + c twice? > > I want to hit F2 to edit a cells contents and keep what was on the > > clipboard. > > Good for you! You should.

The only other option I know of would be to clear the check in Tools>Options>Edit for Edit Directly in Cell. That causes F2 to jump you to the Edit Field of the Formula Bar. Select & copy there, then move to the target cell, F2, navigate & paste.
