I do alot of formula validation etc. :confused:

One of the functions I used alot was double clicking on a cell with a formula and it would show the reference cells with little coloured boxes around them.... :oops:

Recently I have lost this functionality, I miss it... any idea how to turn it back on???? :eek:

HELP! :(

Try either of these --

Hit the F2 key to go into rangefinder mode
Go to Tools | Options. In the Edit tab, make sure that Edit Directly In Cell is checked
