Key points about editing cells in Excel
9 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.
9 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 use alpha bravo Charlie etc. instead of A B C.
9 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.
9 If you just move to a cell and start to dictate, what you dictate will overwrite the existing content.
9 You can use Dragon commands like select <xyz>, correct <xyz>, and insert before <xyz> to edit and
correct text in a cell.
9 To complete entry and move down one cell, say press Enter. To cancel entry and remain in the cell,
say cancel or press Escape.
9 Saying apply completes entry into a cell, and leaves the focus on that cell (exiting Quick Edit mode).
