Mar 22, 2016  The only solution I've been able to find is to right-click at the desktop extremes, away from the Excel windows. Even that doesn't necessarily bring back the cursor as it will sometimes disappear again when I roll back over an Excel window. It sometimes take 2 or 3 such attempts to bring the cursor back permanently. Office for Mac.; 2 minutes to read; In this article.

Excel 2016 offers a wide variety of keystrokes for moving the cell cursor to a new cell. When you use one of these keystrokes, the program automatically scrolls a new part of the worksheet into view, if this is required to move the cell pointer.

The following table summarizes these keystrokes, including how far each one moves the cell pointer from its starting position.

Keystroke	Where the Cell Cursor Moves
Right arrow or Tab	Cell to the immediate right.
Left arrow or Shift+Tab	Cell to the immediate left.
Up arrow	Cell up one row.
Down arrow	Cell down one row.
Home	Cell in Column A of the current row.
Ctrl+Home	First cell (A1) of the worksheet.
Ctrl+End or End, Home	Cell in the worksheet at the intersection of the last column that has data in it and the last row that has data in it (that is, the last cell of the so-called active area of the worksheet).
Page Up	Cell one full screen up in the same column.
Page Down	Cell one full screen down in the same column.
Ctrl+Right arrow or End, Right arrow	First occupied cell to the right in the same row that is either preceded or followed by a blank cell. If no cell is occupied, the pointer goes to the cell at the very end of the row.
Ctrl+Left arrow or End, Left arrow	First occupied cell to the left in the same row that is either preceded or followed by a blank cell. If no cell is occupied, the pointer goes to the cell at the very beginning of the row.
Ctrl+Up arrow or End, Up arrow	First occupied cell above in the same column that is either preceded or followed by a blank cell. If no cell is occupied, the pointer goes to the cell at the very top of the column.
Ctrl+Down arrow or End, Down arrow	First occupied cell below in the same column that is either preceded or followed by a blank cell. If no cell is occupied, the pointer goes to the cell at the very bottom of the column.
Ctrl+Page Down	The cell pointer’s location in the next worksheet of that workbook.
Ctrl+Page Up	The cell pointer’s location in the previous worksheet of that workbook.

When moving the cell cursor by using the keystrokes listed in the table, keep the following helpful hints in mind:

Now the thought of having to boot our machines every few minutes into either one or another operating systems is a bit of a curdler as in business we simply don't have the time.

• In the case of those keystrokes that use arrow keys, you must either use the arrows on the cursor keypad or else have the Num Lock disengaged on the numeric keypad of your physical keyboard.

• The keystrokes that combine the Ctrl or End key with an arrow key are among the most helpful for moving quickly from one edge to the other in large tables of cell entries or for moving from table to table in a section of a worksheet with many blocks of cells.

• When you use Ctrl and an arrow key on a physical keyboard to move from edge to edge in a table or between tables in a worksheet, you hold down Ctrl while you press one of the four arrow keys. When you do this with the Touch keyboard on a touchscreen device, you tap the Ctrl key and then the arrow key sequentially.

• When you use End and an arrow-key alternative, you must press and then release the End key before you press the arrow key. Pressing and releasing the End key causes the End Mode indicator to appear on the Status bar. This is your sign that Excel is ready for you to press one of the four arrow keys.
