* Highlight: It's highlighted with a thicker border, often with a different color than the other cells. This makes it visually stand out.
* Cursor: The blinking cursor is located within the active cell, indicating where you can type or edit content.
* Name Box: The active cell's address (e.g., A1, B2) is displayed in the "Name Box" located above the column headers.
* Formula Bar: Any formula or value entered in the active cell will be displayed in the "Formula Bar" located above the spreadsheet.
In short, the active cell is the one that's selected and ready to receive your input.
Here are some additional points:
* Multiple selections: You can select multiple cells at once, but only one cell can be active at a time. The active cell within a multiple selection is the one that's highlighted differently.
* Changing the active cell: You can change the active cell by clicking on another cell, using the arrow keys, or using the mouse wheel.
