I love PM2010 and I have a couple of suggestions for the next service pack:

1. I'd like to use the "Insert" menu to insert a new column (ALT-I-C) and insert a new row (ALT-I-R). When I used to use Excel, I used that combination a great deal (especially with the keyboard shortcuts) to insert whole columns or rows of cells as I was building up my sheet. It meant that I didn't have to reach for my mouse during a run of typing in figures or formulae.

2. The behaviour of entering formulae can sometimes catch me out when using the cursor keys to select cells that should be referenced in a formula. In Excel, use of the cursor keys takes you from the cell you're entering the formula into each time a cell reference is entered. In PM2010, it takes you from the last cell that was referenced in that formula. It's a minor point but maybe there could be an option for this as I like to use the keyboard a great deal when entering formulae rather than the mouse and I (like many people possibly) are familiar with the behaviour of the keys in Excel.

I hope that last sentence makes sense, it's tricky to describe.
