It is necessary to have a current item for a number of reasons. The current item is the priority item on the worksheet. When specifying options from a worksheet the current item is the starting point.
Note: When you insert or paste items, these items will be inserted above your current item. If there is no current item, the Insert or Paste command will insert an item at the end of the worksheet.
To make an item current
Click in any cell except the Item column. You will see brackets around the item number. You can only have one current item at a time.
To clear the current item
Click on the Item column heading.
