    Unhappy Entering on cells

    Soemthing has recently changed on my ms excel, that when I now press enter (return) it doesn't move to the next cell down, but simply finishes the text/data and remains on the cell.

    It is very frustrating since I am use to it simply moving down.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    In 2003, Tools, Options, Edit, check Move selection after Enter ... and pick a direction.

    Hopes this help, found this on another forum: http://help.wugnet.com/office/Select...ct1182691.html

    The direction to move is probably not selected:
    Excel 2003 & earlier:
    Tools --> Options --> [Edit] tab, Check the box next to "Move selection
    after Enter" and pick a direction (Down, Right, Left, Up -- your preference).

    2007:
    Office Button --> [Excel Options] button -->Advanced group and check "After
    pressing Enter, move selection" and choose the direction.

    2010:
    File --> Options --> Advanced and check "After pressing Enter, move
    selection" and choose the direction.
