Hello
When working in Excel, I have always hit Enter at the end of the line I am
entering data into, and was always returned to the cell at the left margin

Now when I hit Enter, the cursor goes to the cell beneath

I went into Tools...Options...Edit, but there is no selection to return to
Margin or new line, only left, down, right, up. If I select 'left' the
cursor just goes to the left cell

any ideas? thanks

Didn't you use the <Tab key to move right after each cell entry?

THEN ... a hit of <Enter will return you to the next row down, *under* the
cell you first started with.

Couple of ways to do this.

1. Unlock columns for data entry then protect the sheet. The Tab key will then
do as you wish or the Enter key will work if set to move right after entry.

2. With no protection, start in column A and Tab your way across to last data
column then hit Enter key to go back to A one row down.

'down'. Now I am back to normal. Thanks for input

That was your original setting.

Now when I hit Enter, the cursor goes to the cell beneath.

What has changed since then?

But glad to see you're happy<g

I want to use the Tab key to move right, and I know what I need to do, but I
can't even find Tools so I can get to Option...Edit ...etc. I clicked on the
Home icon, then on Exel Options, but nowhere can I find the option to
deselect the Transition Navigator. Can anyone help?

There is no Transition Navigator, there are 3 check boxes, one called
"transition navigation keys", one called "transition formula evaluation" and
"transition formula entry"
Once you have select excel optionsadvanced scroll to the bottom until you
find "lotus navigation keys"
