SUMMARY
=======
 
In Bob Household Manager and Bob Financial Planner, clicking your mouse in
a cell sometimes positions your cursor at that exact point in the cell, and
sometimes shifts the cell contents to show you complete cell information.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
If the cell is wide enough to show its complete contents, clicking your
mouse at a specific location in the cell places the cursor at that exact
insertion point in the text.
 
However, if the cell is not wide enough to show all information
inside it, clicking the mouse in the cell only places the cursor inside
that cell. Then, the text shifts to the left to show the complete contents
of the cell.
 
At this point, to position your cursor exactly in the cell, use the LEFT
ARROW and RIGHT ARROW keyboard keys, or click the I-beam mouse pointer at
the desired spot in the cell. You may also use the HOME or END keyboard
keys to move the cursor.
 
If you move to a cell using the TAB key, the cursor is positioned at the
end of the cell's contents or to the far left of the cell if the cell is
blank.
