Different Cursors in Excel

In Excel, the shape of your cursor frequently changes to indicate when different tools are available. Understanding the differences in the cursors makes it easier to control the program.

	Thick white plus - indicates that you are ready to make a selection.

	Thin black plus in lower right corner - indicates that you are ready to use the autofill tool. The Autofill tool fills the cells you drag over with the value or formula in the selected cell.

	Arrow on edge of the selected cell (or cells) - indicates that you are ready to click and drag to move the contents of the cell. This removes the contents from the current cell and places it the new cell.
