How to specify order of moving to unlocked cells in a protected sh

[mwood]

I have unlocked cells for data entry, then protected my sheet. When I start
at the first entry point and arrow down, it goes to the second then jumps
down several. I want to make it easy for data enterers so it goes down the
sheet in order. Help? Thanks.

When tabbing between unlcocked cells, XL follows the convention of
left-to-right, then top-to-bottom.
