Don't want text selected when tabbing to next cell
Is it possible to tab to the next cell of a table without having Word select
all the text in that cell? I'm using a template that's already in place in each cell, but in order to start typing I have to first de-select the text by hitting the back arrow. Since there are over 1,000 items in this table, I'd like to avoid this, at least on this particular document. Can I change this? -- Terri |

P.S. I'm using Word 2003, if that makes a difference.

Add this macro to your template, using the instructions at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm: Sub NextCell() Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart End Sub This should work in all versions of Word. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
