Why did my Excel insertion point change to a cross?

What is the significance of an insertion point shaped like a fat cross rather
than an I-beam? How do I change it?

The significance escapes me, but I was forced to leave the comfort of Lotus

cross".

The I beam denotes you are in a cell Editing mode.
