Default auto shift down a cell

Is it possible to automatically shift down a cell with no key stroke after
entering 4 digits into a cell. And if so can all the cells be formatted to do
this. Thanks

No.

What you can do is set data validation to allow only 4 characters in a cell

Data|Validation then set it to Number of max value 9999 or text length 4
characters.

To move down after enter try

Tools|Options|Edit check move selection after enter and select 'down' from
the dropdown.

It can't be done if the user hasn't hit enter, however naturally when a
user hits enter the cursor usually moves down one row, if you only want
to allow a 4 digit number then use DATAVALIDATIONTEXT LENGTHEQUAL
TO4
