Key points about editing cells in Excel
 You can navigate between cells using absolute commands such as move to cell A1 or relative
movement commands such as move up one, move right two, etc.
 If you want to mention a cell in a command (such as move to cell D5 or select cell B3 through cell
H3), be sure to say the word “cell”. You can speak the letters as alpha bravo Charlie, etc. instead of A
B C.
 If you wish to modify and add to the existing content of a cell, move to that cell, then say Edit Cell or
Press F2; the insertion point will appear at the end of the cell’s content and the cell will now have a
blue background. If you say commands like New Line and New Paragraph, these commands are
executed within the cell.
 If you just move to a cell and start to dictate, what you dictate will overwrite the existing content.
 You can use Dragon commands like select <xyz>, correct <xyz>, and insert before <xyz> to edit and
correct text in a cell.
 To complete entry and move down one cell, say press Enter. To cancel entry and remain in the cell,
say cancel or press Escape.
 Saying apply completes entry into a cell, and leaves the focus on that cell (exiting Quick Edit mode).
