It is CTRL+1 that brings up the formatting dialog box. Take care.

You had a space after h2. A comma follows h2 and k2 but not l2. No plus signs are used in that formula. You could also just type =h2+k2+l2 again without using the word sum and with no spacing and no parentheses or commas just a plus sign between h2 and k2 and another one between k2 and l2. I am not sure what you mean with the second part of your question. You can copy the content of a cell with CTRL+C and paste it in another empty cell. I don't think that is what you are meaning though. Take care.
