Thanks Nick, Option return did the trick. It let’s me edit the desired cell 
contents. But, if I press VO spacebar on the same cell, it puts me in edit mode 
on the cell to the immediate left.
There doesn’t seem to be any discernible pattern as to when this happens. The 
particular case 
I have a text label in cell a1, and a formula in cell b1 When I press VO space 
on b1 I am put in edit mode in cell a1. But, if I hit option return on b1 I am 
put in edit mode in b1 as expected.
Obviously VoiceOver has problems sometimes discerning which cell is which.
Thanks for the tip.
