How do I get tab to move the cursor one cell over rather than 8?

[Guest]

When I used tab to advance to the next cell in a worksheet, my cursor was
going from cell A1 to cell N1. When I looked in help, it told me to use
"shift+tab". I did that. Now when I hit tab it goes from cell A1 to cell I1.
To test my settings, I opened a brand new worksheet/workbook fresh. I put
my curser in cell A1. Hit tab and it advances to L1. I'm confused. Help?

The behavior you describe is the combination Alt-PageUp and Alt-PageD
keystrokes. The different columns are because the movement is to th
right edge of the visible worksheet, not to a particular column. Th
TAB key is mimicing this because your tools, options, transition, ha
'transition navigation keys' checked, which I _think_ is a lotus 12
legacy support.
Uncheck this option and the tab will return to normal.
