We have both Open Office and Microsoft users in our organization.  I
have constructed a form in Microsoft Excel.  The data entry field cells
are formatted unprotected, all other cells protected.  Sheet Protection
is turned on, with "Select Unlocked Cells" activated.  The result is
that the cursor goes directly to the next unprotected data entry field
when the Tab key is pressed.  Makes for very efficient data collection.


 

Using this form in Open Office 2.0, Tab key seems to move the cursor to
the protected cell immediately right of the last input, and then to the
next unprotected data entry cell, but not always.  The unpredictable
nature of the beast makes for ghastly data entry.

 

Any suggestions?
