cell textbox activation

[Joe Ward]

When you're in a cell, and you tab to another cell with existing text, then start typing, the existing text is replaced with whatever you type.

However, when you click on a cell, the cursor is inserted into the existing text where you clicked. For example, if the cell contains "Hello World", and you click on the cell just over between the "W" and "o", that's where your cursor shows up, and anything you type is inserted into that place in the string.

How can I set the cell such that it behaves as if you tabbed to it when you click on it, so that when the user starts typing, the existing text is wiped clean?
