Tab within a cell
Doing that I would navigate to the next Excel workbook.
No, you don't when you are in Edit mode. But the character ISN'T inserted into the cell, either. |

PS: You can get the tab character into a cell with a formula
="ABC"&CHAR(9)&"DEF" What you see is a square box in the 4th position. It doesn't behave like a tab. On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 17:55:11 +0530, "Hari Prasadh" wrote: Hi Budgie, Doing that I would navigate to the next Excel workbook. |

But that is an excellent way to get the tab character in a cell in an MSWord
Table. (I bet that was what you were thinking.) budgie wrote: On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 08:44:40 -0000, "Bob Phillips" wrote: I don't believe that you can, directly or via VBA. To enter a TAB within an Excel cell, press Ctrl-Tab (if that was the question) -- Dave Peterson |

Hi Myrna,
No, you don't when you are in Edit mode. But the character ISN'T inserted into the cell, either. Wasnt concentrating. Thnx to budgie Budgie/Dave for introducing me to a word feature (slowly learning word as well with help from NG's) It doesn't behave like a tab. Not able to understand/appreciate why you provided this formula. I checked out the - character set(0-127) -- in help (Im wondering why does this character set appear in the help file of VBA excel but not the help file of Excel. Is this the same with the others? If yes why this demarcation? ) and there it lists 2 Star's against the character 9. If this 9 doesnt behave like a tab what does it do. I copied the results of this formula as it is to MS word to check whether in other applications it might show/display the tab behaviour. But in Word, there is only a single space between"abc" and "def" (the square doesnt get displayed). Also if the help file says 2 star's why is it displaying a sq. bracket. On the other hand if I replace 9 with any number 1 through 8 it displays a sq. bracket for all cases. Funny thing is for 1 through 8 case if i copy the result to Word then there it shows the square bracket also. -- Thanks a lot, Hari India "Myrna Larson" wrote in message ...
