To put it another way the file won't save while you're in edit mode of a  
cell or the formula bar.

I do. THough I'll admit this is a bit screwed at least in XL2k. Edit a  
cell directly and the right-click menu will appear there, but not in the  
formular bar. Edit in the formula bar and you can right click in either,  
but you'll be changing the edit selection from bar to cell if you  
right-click the cell.

F2 your functional friend :-) Assuming you don't use the formula bar edit.
