Hi Jody

I cannot replicate your problem but it may be worth checking out your
settings. I'm assuming this problem is nothing to do with your keyboard and
it works ok with other applications

Click the 'Office Button' - top left and in the new window select 'Excel
Options'. Select the 'advanced' option
and examine your settings in the 'Edit Options' area.

If you always want the next cell selected to be the one below then change
the setting in the first item to be down. Then you will be able to use the
enter key rather than the down key after each entry.

Hope this helps. Let me know.

I am using Excel 2007 and whenever I press my down arrow on the keyboard it
moves down one cell and over one cell to the right. I am trying to figure out
what setting has made it this way.

Does anyone know how I can change this so that when I hit the down arrow it
goes down one cell only?
