[Solved] Cursor movement during data entry

Post by jgriffs@comcast.net »

Spreadsheet entering data, "ENTER" moves the cursor down. I'd prefer to set it to move one cell to the right. Excel can do this but I can not find such a setting in OO. Searched Help for cursor movement, move cursor, data entry, etc. to no avail. Should be a simple thing but I can't find a way.

in Calc open /Tools /Options /OpenOffice Calc : General tab. Under Input settings check "Press Enter to move selection" and choose the direction you wish from the dropdown to right of that line.

Options is under Preferences on a Mac.
