Not sure what you need.

If sheet is protected with some unlocked cells, setting Enter key to move
right will move across unlocked cells then down to beginning of next row of
unlocked cells.

Tab key will do the same.

With sheet not protected, the Tab, Tab, Tab, Enter will work.

Previous versions required the use of the Tab and Enter keys.

Start in A1 and Tab across to F1 entering data as you go.

When leaving F1 hit the Enter key to go to B1

i have updated some new forms in Excel (have Vista but saving forms as
97-2003 format)
in my previous versions the cursor would move to the beginning of the
next line down
which i really, really like and need
i can't seem to get the new versions to do this
major changes include locking cells and protecting the page
am fine with forgoing these if it means my cursor will return to the
right place

would appreciate any help - please note that i'm a total newbie :)
thanks!
