No. Excel doesn't know that anything is entered into a cell until you hit
Enter or move to another cell or sheet. One way around that is to use an
event macro that will take all the characters entered over, say 5, and put
them in the next cell. Post back if this sounds like what you want. HTH

Is it possible to set Excel so that after entering a specific number of
characters into a cell the cursor will jump to the next cell automaticly?
