Sounds like the areas you want to edit are non-contiguous. To select non-contiguous areas:<br>
<br>
Drag through the first block to highlight the area. Then hold down your Control key and highlight another area. Keep using the Control key to highlight as many areas as you want.<br>
<br>
Once you have them all selected, go to Insert - Name - Define. Make up a name for this area.<br>
<br>
Now whenever you want to do editing in these non-contiguous blocks, do a Ctrl-G (Go to) and choose the name you defined. Excel will once again highlight these blocks and tabbing will stay within these blocks... it will not go outside them. <p>Tom Thaden<br><a href=mailto:thadents@usano.ksc.nasa.gov>thadents@usano.ksc.nasa.gov</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
