It doesn't deselect as I type! You could hide columns E through to IV but
I
still don't think it will give you what you want.

Hello, Thanks for replying. I need to be inputting data as i go along
though.
If i select all the boxes it will de-select as soon as i begin to type!

Is there anyway to get a custom 4 column worksheet??

Regards,

Jay

Hi
One way is to select columns A:D before you start. Each time you hit
TAB,
it
will take you through only those columns. So the order would go: A1,
B1,
C1,
D1, A2, B2, C2, D2, A3, ETC

Hello, i'm new to the wonderful world of all thing's Microsoft, I've
got
Excel 2004 for the Mac and i'm having to use it as a database for my
large
record collection as they don't make Access for the Mac
unfortunately.

I need a custom worksheet of just 4 columns long, the reason being
that
when
i get to the last column in the row (the rows being Artist, Title,
Label,
Comment) i want the cursor to jump to the 1st column of the next row
when
i
press TAB as this would save a lot of time when inputting my record
names.
(instead of moving the cursor down with the arrow and key's and then
moving
it back four everytime)

The number of row's will depend on how many records i have....

Can someone tell me how to do this... i've tried the help funtion
within
the
program but can't seem to get any further and deleting columns from
the
insrt
menu doesn't seem to have the affect i want or need.

Many thanks
