Cursor positioning
I am entering data into 3 different columns, c1, d1 and f1. When I am
finished typing in f1, is there a way to get to c2 by pressing enter so I don't have to select c2 with the mouse everytime I am finished in the f column? Thanks Bobby |

Cursor positioning
Start by unlocking a range of cells in each column (right click, Format
Cells, Protection, uncheck the Locked checkbox. Then protect the worksheet (Tools, Protection, Protect Sheet) Use the Tab key to move from cell to cell the way described below. Hope this helps ...

Enter your data into C1 then use tab to get to D1, enter your data and tab
twice to go to F1 enter your data then hit "Enter" - should now be in C2. Sandy "mulligbo" wrote in message ... I am entering data into 3 different columns, c1, d1 and f1.

Bobby,
You didn't say what happened when you tried Sandy's method. People often don't say. It definitely works. Make sure that "Transition navigation keys" (Lotus) isn't checked in Tools - Options - Transition. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "mulligbo" wrote in message ...

When I do Exactly what Sandy wrote, when I hit enter in f1, i go to g1. TNK's
is not checked. I don't know why it won't work. I also had a peer tell me I could do the same thing and it never worked when he showed me either???? Bobby.

Bobby,
If the Enter key is making it go across, look at Tools - Options - Edit - Move seledtion after Enter. Sounds as if it's set to Right, instead of Down. Set it to Down, and read on. You wanted to enter into C1, then D1, then F1, then C1, etc. Try this. After entering into C1, don't press Enter; press Tab. You should be in D1. After entering data into D1 (or not), don't press Enter; press Tab twice. You should be in F1. After entering into F1, press Enter. Should take you to C2. Repeat, ad nauseam. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "mulligbo" wrote in message ...
