Many thanks, Jay and Tony - I'll have a go with the macro - sounds promising.
(I love the inclusion of the "oops" bit!!!)

There is nothing built-in but it can be done with code.You need to code a
macro called NextCell which will automatically run in response to pressing
Tab in a table cell, and which can determine what should be done according

1. Is it possible to program a table cell so that upon exit from it, the
cursor will go to another particular specified cell?
2. Can I control whether the cursor moves downwards rather than to the
right
upon cell exit (as is possible in Excel)?
