If you mean that if a user types a lot of data into the one cell and that
when they reach 7 characters the rest of the data is automatically inserted
into the next cell, then I don't think you can do that. (Might by code -
someone will tell you...)

Column A: Input
Column B: =LEFT(A1,7) will abstract the first 7 characters
Column C: =MID(A1,8,99) will abstract characters 8 through 99
