You can move around a worksheet using your mouse or the keyboard, or your finger (New!)
on a tablet or touch screen. You might find that using your mouse or
finger to move from cell to cell is most convenient, while using
various keyboard combinations is easier for quickly covering large
areas of a worksheet. Or, you might find that entering numbers on the
keypad and pressing Enter is a better method. Certain keys on the
keyboard—Home, End, Delete, Page Up, and Page Down to name a few—are
best used as shortcuts to navigate in the worksheet. If you have a
table or touch screen (New!),
a tap is like a click and a tap-hold is like a right-click. However,
there is no right way; whichever method feels the most comfortable is
the one you should use.
Use the Mouse or Finger to Navigate
Using the mouse or finger (New!), you can navigate to:
• Another cell
• Another part of the worksheet
• Another worksheet
Did You Know?
Microsoft IntelliMouse users can roll from cell to cell with IntelliMouse.
If you have the new Microsoft IntelliMouse—with the wheel button
between the left and right buttons—you can click the wheel button and
move the mouse in any direction to move quickly around the worksheet.
You can quickly zoom in or out using IntelliMouse.
Instead of scrolling when you roll with the IntelliMouse, you can zoom
in or out. To turn on this feature, click the File tab, click Options,
click Advanced, select the Zoom On Roll With IntelliMouse check box,
and then click OK.
