Didn't you use the <Tab key to move right after each cell entry?

THEN ... a hit of <Enter will return you to the next row down, *under* the
cell you first started with.

Hello
When working in Excel, I have always hit Enter at the end of the line I am
entering data into, and was always returned to the cell at the left margin

Now when I hit Enter, the cursor goes to the cell beneath

I went into Tools...Options...Edit, but there is no selection to return to
Margin or new line, only left, down, right, up. If I select 'left' the
cursor just goes to the left cell

any ideas? thanks
