Project 2007 in-cell editing

F

Has anyone noticed that in-cell editing is more difficult with Project 2007
than previous versions? In previous versions (and in Excel), you can click
F2 to edit in a cell and then use arrow keys and the "home" and "end" keys to
navigate through the text in a cell. In Project 2007, you cannot navigate
the line of text in a cell with arrow keys or home/end. Does anybody know if
there is a setting I'm missing?

Hello fudgieknuckles,

Check the option "Edit directly in cell" on the Edit tab of the Tools >
Options dialog box. If that option is disabled, the insertion point
does not appear in the cell, but rather in the entry bar above the
active view. With the option enabled (default) the home, end, left,
right arrow keys appear to work as they did in previous releases.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
