I'm a new user of Excel 2000. How can I easily navigate
back to the cell I just moved from? If I am typing in
cell L980 and move to home, how can I quickly get back to
L980??

About the easiest way is to click in the name box (far
left, same toolbar as the formula bar), type in the
address and press enter.

The others gave you great solutions that require one to type the address you
want to go back to.
Excel has a built in feature that remembers it's last 4 locations. It is
usually used in Macros, but you can access this feature manually.
With your cell selected, (say z100), select the name box....and just hit
enter.
This adds the current selection to Excel's memory.
Now move your selection back to A1.
Hit F5 to bring up the "GoTo" feature, and just hit enter to return to z100.
If you hit F5 at a later time, and z100 is not the "Previous" location, you
still might be able to select it from the list.

Hi Jeb,

Here's one way without having to take your hand off of the
mouse to use the keyboard ( I'm sooo lazy )

edit>goto>special>last cell

Unfortunately not. "Last Cell" refers to the last cell used in the
current worksheet. Say that you have contents in cell D10 and nothing
to the right or below that. Using Edit -> Goto -> Special -> Last Cell
will always take you to D10, regardless of where the cursor was prior
to that.

The lastcell is defined as the intersection of the lastused column
and the lastused row. It is not defined as the last cell visited.
Jeb didn't indicate returning to the lastcell but to get to the
last cell the shortcut is Ctrl+End which is normally used
to see if you have more rows or columns in your used range than
you thought you had or more than you wanted.
