Excel - tab stops within a cell

Hi

Please can you let me know whether it is possible to enter tab stops within a cell (Excel spreadsheet).
When pressing the tab key you move between cells rather than within the original cell.

Many thanks

RE: Excel - tab stops within a cell

Hi Amy

Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately I'm not aware of a way to add tabs to space out or position text within a cell.

Word on the other hand can set tabs within a cell of a table so this may be better suited to your needs.

Let me know what kind of outcome you are looking to achieve with Tabs in Cells in case I can find another way of achieving it.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
