Default Tab to the next row down


When I use the TAB key to move
between the unlocked cells on a protected, worksheet, for some reason, when I
get to the end of some rows, the cursor returns to the home cell on that row,
not to the next row down. Is this because some cells on these rows are
merged...if so, how can I keep those cells merged (to have ample space for
user to input their data) and still TAB left-to-right-then-down to
unprotected cells??

Leandro,

It's normal for the Enter key to move you down and back to the start (left) of the row.
Unless you're entering a formula, you can use the Down key instead of the Enter key.

I'm not using the Enter key. I'm using the Tab key. When I get to the end of
a row, the cursor returns to the home cell on that row. I want it to go to
the next row down.

Leandro,

OK. Tab key only. One possibility is that the worksheet is protected, and it's run out of
unlocked cells as you tab. However, it will go to the beginning of the next row, not the
same row. You were pretty clear about its going to the left of the same row. Or if the
scroll range has been set, and you're tabbing beyond the edge of it. It will still drop to
the next row as well as go back to the far left. The scroll range is set in a macro.

Are there any macros in the workbook?
