Hello,

	I am a new user to excel and seem to be having very simple
problems. I am a regular user of quatro and lotus so i do know how to
use spreadsheets.

	1. is there any way to move the cursor when editing a formula
with out having to use the mouse. when I have the text insertion bar
somewhere and hit the cursor it changes cells. I simply want it to skip
characters.

	2. is there a function that simply zeros a value if it is
negative. this is what i have been doing but it requires to copies of
expression (which are quite long). "if(expr, expr,0)"


thanks
