not able to see the blinking cursor while editing cell

[Anand Raman]

hi all,

For some reason when I edit a cell in excel I am not able to see the
blinking cursor. The formula bar shows where the cursor is and rather
than looking at the cell I am editing i have to look at the formula
bar. I find it extremly distracting.

I am certain that in the past I also had the cursor showing while
editing the cell.

Can someone help in figuring out how to get the cursor back into the
cell.

Thanks
anand

In versions <2007 go to Tools>Options>Edit and checkmark "edit directly in
cell".
