Default Defining specific areas for users to enter data

I just set up 4 non-contiguous cells as unlocked, then protected the sheet,
and found that the tab key *does* move between the 4 available cells. It
does so from left to right, then down to the next row and left to right
again. B1, E1, then down to B3, E3. Sort of the same way we read text. Do
you need the movement to happen in a pattern other than that one?

Thanks for the insite. Is it possible to set something up where a user can
"Tab" (tab key) from preset cell to preset cell. For example, if their are
4
"hot cells" on a sheet, the user can hit Tab to quickly jump for hot cell
to
hot cell.

I'm looking to have specific cells where users can enter information,
which
is linked to other calculations in the sheet. I want everything else
protected except for those few cells ("hot") and would like the user to
only
be able to mouse over them. I've also heard it is possible to "tab"
between
these "hot" cells, enabling a user to quickly fill out a template. Any
ideas?
Thanks in advance.
