Hello,

suddenly when I edit a cell via F2, the cell is highlighted in a color
like light blue. When I press Enter a new line is inserted, it's not
possible to end editing with Enter. Any hint?

Thanks and greetings
Udo

Hi

Do you see EXT on the bottom bar of Excel?
If so, you are in Extended mode. Press F8 to clear.

Hello Roger,

many thanks for your asnwer.

no, has nothing to do with EXT. One additional hint.
The cell which is edited contains already a string (text).

Thanks and greetings
Udo

yep, solved, but don't know why - "played" a little bit with F8...

Thanks and greetings
