entering data in a row and then tabbing to the next row

[Paradisegems]

I am using Excel 2003. I would like to enter my data from A-L and then press
tab and be in the next row below to start entering data again. I have my
own company and am trying to enter customers contact info. It is
inconvenient for me to alway use my mouse to go back to the next row and I
know I have set this up before, but can not remember how I did it. Please
help.

Unlock the cells you want to use, iowselect cols A:L, click on Format, Cells,
Protection, and untick Locked.
Protect your worksheet, and untick the option to select locked cells.
If you want to rather use <ENTER> to move to the next cell, then click on
Tools, Options, select the Edit tab, and change Move selection after enter to
Right.
Once you press <ENTER>, or then <TAB> in Col L, you will move to col A in
the next row.

Another way..which I use it for setting temporary navigation..

--Suppose you are in Row 10
--Select range A11:L20 (active cell would be A11)
--Start entering data and once at L11 it would return to next row ColA

If this post helps click Yes

Tab your way across then when leaving L1 hit Enter key to drop to A2
