dear mr gebobs

thanks a lot. tried and succeeded.

at this time, i would also be thankful if you guide me in
editing a formula by pressing f2 key.

when i press the f2 button, a vertical graph like thing
appears. in excel 2003, if pressed f2, the contents of


that particular cell (text, number or formula) appears
with the cursor at the right end of the cell.

i am unable to find a solution for this.
