Tab Key and Excel 2007
 

Hey All,

My 'Tab' key is not moving me from one column to the next.

I've already seen the postings about 'Lotus Compatability' but this item is
NOT checked and the 'Tab' key seems to throw me into never never land in
that once I hit it, Excel's main window changes its highlight color and
nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

1. Check to make sure you are you in a cell, not selecting something like an
object.
2. Make sure that are no macros in the workbook which could be causing this.
3. What happens when you press Shift+Tab? - should move to the left.
4. Make sure you are not pressing Ctrl+Tab this would take you to another
workbook, very unlikely.

Hi,

One other thing that comes to mind - if you are in a table pressing Tab
moves you to the right except if you are in the last cell of a row, then it
moves you to the first cell of the next row.

Nope. Brand new workbook so no macros.

Ctrl + Tab brings up a dialog for selecting one of the other windows that
are open on the desktop.

Shift + Tab does the same thing as Tab and just puts me in nowhere land.

Not in a table either.

Problem Solved!!!

I uninstalled WinZip Email Companion Add-in and I was back to normal.

This might be a pretty important post as there may be a lot of people having
this same issue.

Thanks for making me think a little though Shane. As an experienced user, I
have a lot of extra things installed on my machine and sometimes when a
long-time feature no longer works, it can be difficult to unravel the
mystery when the usual suspects are not to blame.
