Default Move Selection after Enter

In the "Tools-Options-Edit" there is a "Move Selection after Enter"
choice. My girlfriend seems to be having a problem with it changing from
"Down" to "Right" Is this a known problem? Does Excel try to outsmart you
on this one and change it based on your last action or something?

Thanks

What problem are you / is she experiencing? Can't change the dropdown
to "right"? Is she pressing "OK" after making the change? Excel is
not trying to outsmart anyone except Lotus.

I think its fixed, if you select right, you will always move right
when you press enter!

Sorry, I did not make myself clear. The "it" noted as changing is Excel
doing the changing without intervention or permission for the change by the
user. So after using it with Down being the default, maybe closing the
file and reopening it a few days later, it is defaulting back to right.

I should have noted that the file is not shared and she is using Excel
2002 and I am not sure what version of Windows.
