Down arrow jumps cursor to end of cell text
I can move normally between cells using up and down arrows unless I double
click into a cell to edit the text within that cell. Clicking the down arrow now moves the cursor to the end of the cell text instead of to the cell immediately below the active cell. Clicking the up arrow moves the cursor to the begging of the cell text instead of to the cell immediately above the active cell. Any suggestions? |

Down arrow jumps cursor to end of cell text
The arrows work to move form one cell to another if you simple enter data
then press an arrow. If you try to edit data in a cell then the arrows only move the cursor within the cell. Reason for this is so that you can use the arrow keys to move the cursor within the cell for editing purposes. -- Regards, OssieMac "Timma" wrote: I can move normally between cells using up and down arrows unless I double click into a cell to edit the text within that cell.

Down arrow jumps cursor to end of cell text
Ok, so this is by design and that makes sense to me, but I do tech support
and I know someone will eventually ask. Is there anyway around this? Anyway to change the default behavior?

Down arrow jumps cursor to end of cell text
Tell them it cannot be changed and to use the Enter or Tab key to leave the cell
after editing. Or don't double-click.......F2...edit........F2 then use the arrow keys to leave the cell.
