You can also press the tab key instead of the enter key. If you press tab, the cursor will move one cell to the right once the information has been entered.
To tell Excel to accept the data you've typed, press enter. The information will be entered immediately, and the cursor will move down one cell.
At any time while you are typing you can press the escape key to cancel. This brings Excel back to the state it was in before you started typing.
When you want to delete information that has already been entered, just select the cells, and press the delete key.
