SUMMARY
You can enter data in a Microsoft Works for Windows spreadsheet(without data protection) or database list by selecting the series of cells where data is to be entered and then pressing ENTER after each cell entry. The cursor will automatically advance to the next cell in the selected area. This method eliminates the need to press ENTER followed by an arrow key to advance to the next cell.



Database List Example

 * 1) To enter data into specific fields of a group of records in a database, choose List from the View menu.
 * 2) Select the group of fields where you want to enter the data.
 * 3) Type the first entry and press ENTER. This will force the highlight to the next record in the group, where more data can be entered.

Spreadsheet Example

 * 1) Select the series of cells where you want to enter data.
