Moving Cursor within same cell

[nishockey19]

When I am working in a cell, how can I set it up so that when I hit 'Enter',
the cursor will move right under the text in the current cell that I am
working in, as it does in Word, instead of always going down to the cell
below the cell that I am working in?

hi
don't think you can do that.
2003>tools>options>edit tab>check "move selection after enter"
here you can set which way the cell pointe(curser?) moves i.e. up, down,
left, right.
inside the cell, use the left/right arrow keys to move inside the cell.

Hold down the Alt key before you press enter.
