Help with Quattro Pro

I have created a spreadsheet in Quattro Pro where I enter invoice details in colums A-E and after entering the value in column E I want to jump to the beginning of the next line (Column A) to start entering the details of the next invoice there.

If I hit RETURN when in Column E it brings me to Column E on the next line how do I get it to jump each time to Column A in the next line ?

Thank you in advance.

I've never used Quattro Pro but try hitting "tab" instead of enter and see what it does.

Quattro Pro

If you hit TAB it just takes you to the next cell on the right ie F.

Try hitting return to go to the next cell down in column E and then the home key to go back to column A. I know this works in Excel and I am only assuming it will work in QPro

You could Insert a QuickButton. Right click on the button, then click Button Properties. In the Macro tab enter the following .....

{L 4}{D 1}


You can relocate the button as needed.

Home key will just send the selection to A1.

A simple macro may help you out

In your spreadsheet open Tab B, then click on one of the cells (i.e., E2), then type in :
~{D1}{End}{L}
in the cell before the macro (i.e., D2) type in '\B (note the ' before the \ )

Then go to the menu: Insert\Name\Name Cells

Select \B and click add, then close.

Now, pressing Crtrl Shift B anywhere in the spreadsheet will move the selection one row down and back to the first column.

I find this routine to be especially usefull when entering many columns of data.
