Down Arrow problems
I am using Excel 2007 and whenever I press my down arrow on the keyboard it
moves down one cell and over one cell to the right. I am trying to figure out what setting has made it this way. Does anyone know how I can change this so that when I hit the down arrow it goes down one cell only? |
Down Arrow problems
Hi Jody
I cannot replicate your problem but it may be worth checking out your settings. I'm assuming this problem is nothing to do with your keyboard and it works ok with other applications Click the 'Office Button' - top left and in the new window select 'Excel Options'. Select the 'advanced' option and examine your settings in the 'Edit Options' area. If you always want the next cell selected to be the one below then change the setting in the first item to be down. Then you will be able to use the enter key rather than the down key after each entry. Hope this helps. Let me know.

Down Arrow problems
Like Arceedee, my first thought is sticking keyboard. Does this happen when
you use both the down arrow in the arrows group and if you turn Num Lock off and use the down arrow in the number pad. If not, and it only happens when using the down arrow in the arrow buttons group, it could be a simple sticky key problem. Also, is it all workbooks, or just one in particular. There might actually even be a macro that is causing this. It would be odd, but not impossible if someone had a need for such a function when using the workbook or a workbook that the one you've gotten is based on.
