tab key problem

[kjk]

Hi Folks,

I have a Word .doc document which consists of columns of data which
were created by using tabs. Using Word in Overtype mode, I would
think that I could move the cursor from column to column, without
affecting the data, by using the Tab key . . . but it doesn't work
that way. When I press the Tab key, it deletes the first character in
the column and moves the remaining column data ahead of it to the next
tab position, even though I'm in Overtype mode.

How might I get the cursor to jump from column to column without
pushing the data ahead of it? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Ken

Use the ARROW key, OR put you data in a Table where TAB is a navigation KEY.
