Word completion
I am using open office 4.1 on windows 8. I am using the spreadsheet and want to use word completion. It works if I use enter but goes to next row. I want to go to next column. If I use tab it won't go anywhere just beeps and I have to finish typing whole word. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i do not have openoffice at hand right now, but as far as i remmember, you could just use the right arrow key instead of the enter key.

Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Calc | General | Input
settings. "Press Enter to move selection " should be ticked. At the
right, select Right (instead of Down) from the drop-down menu.
I trust this helps.

Brian -
Thank you. I, too, had the same issue and was not aware that there was an
option. I just lived with it as what I thought was an "artifact" of the
way OO was coded.
I appreciate the tip.
