Moving Backwards in Excel

Ever find yourself about to hit the Enter key in MS Excel and realize you need to move up a cell to fix something? Next time you're in this predicament, try Shift + Enter instead of the plain old Enter.

You'll find that your data is safely in the cell, but the selection is moved up instead of down. (If you've used the Options window to change the direction Enter sends the cell selection, you'll find that Shift + Enter moves it in the opposite direction).
