move cursor to 4th column with one press of tab key?
i want to know how to change the setting of cursor with tab key from one
column to the other, can it be set to move directly to the 5th or what ever the number of column we wish to with one hit on tab key? |

I'm not sure whether this will work for you,
but it's a harmless play (hang around for better suggestions ..) Let's say we want to tab from A1 to F1, then hard return to A2, tab to F2, and so on In a new sheet, Hold CTRL down, select cols A and F Click Format Cells Protection tab Uncheck "Locked" OK Click Tools Protection Protect Sheet OK Try it out: Select A1, press Tab, ENTER, Tab, ENTER ... You'll get the zig-zag jumps: A1-F1-A2-F2-A3-F3 ... -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Naveed Ahmad Purewal" <Naveed Ahmad wrote in message ... i want to know how to change the setting of cursor with tab key from one column to the other, can it be set to move directly to the 5th or what ever the number of column we wish to with one hit on tab key? |

If one was merely entering data, would not "hide" the interim columns be an easier solution for zig-zag jumps? | Try it out: | Select A1, press Tab, ENTER, Tab, ENTER ... | You'll get the zig-zag jumps: A1-F1-A2-F2-A3-F3 ... | -- | Rgds | Max | xl 97 |

I read it that all columns were to remain visible, Rodney <g

Thanks Max,
I hope you didn't take my comments as smart-alecky, rather, I could not think of any other reason why a person would want to locate a cell at wide locations, constantly, other than data entry. I was encouraging perhaps a different slant I may have missed. Databases do adapt to this by offering tab matrixes.

Not at all, Rodney ! <g
We'll just have to enjoy guessing our hearts out here unless / until the OP feeds back further .. -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- |
