How to Remove 'Enable Editing' in Excel 2016

When working with Microsoft Excel, it's essential to understand how to control the actions that take place within the program. This includes knowing what happens when you press Enter in a cell and how to cancel an edit or troubleshoot issues related to the Clipboard.

There are two methods for controlling the action Excel takes when editing a cell. Both of these techniques will be discussed in this tip, providing you with the knowledge you need to work efficiently in Excel 2016.

One common issue that users encounter is the inability to complete an operation due to an error with the Clipboard. This can be disconcerting and make it difficult to move or copy information from one place to another. However, there are ways to accomplish this task, including using formulas and shortcuts.

Another feature of Excel 2016 that can be useful is the ability to automatically wrap text in a cell after every word. While you could edit the cell and press Alt+Enter after each word, there is an easier way to achieve this using a formula.

In addition to these features, Excel 2016 also allows you to automatically move from cell to cell when entering data. This can be particularly useful when working with large datasets or formulas that require multiple cells to be filled in. This tip will show you how powerful this feature can be and provide guidance on how to use it effectively.

The Paste Special feature in Excel 2016 is another tool that can be used to uniformly adjust values and formulas. This tip will explain how to change the starting point for a range without getting rid of the range itself, which can be useful when working with large datasets or complex formulas.

Finally, if you find yourself tired of the Find and Replace dialog box blocking the view of your worksheet while searching for information, there is a simple solution. By using the technique described in this tip, you can get rid of the dialog box and continue to work efficiently in Excel 2016.

By understanding these features and techniques, you'll be able to work more effectively in Excel 2016 and avoid common issues that may arise when editing cells or working with large datasets.
