    Tab skips over cells

    Hi.

    For some reason, this just started happening. When I try to tab from, for example, cell A1 to B1 it instead skips to cell S1. I have no idea why this is doing this. I haven't put in any weird formulas or anything. There aren't any macros running. I using Excel 2010 on a windows 7 machine.

    No, none of them are merged. Just standard cells with one having a simple division formula. \

    Also I just noticed this is happening in all of my excel files now. So it must have something to do with the settings.

    It always skips 18 cells to the right. So A goes to T then to AO

    I would try another keyboard. Does it only happen from A1 to S1 or does B3 jump to T3?

    Yes it does it, no matter where I am at in a sheet. 18 cells to the right.

    I just installed a VBA converter from MS because I was trying to open a quattro pro file. Could this be the reason?

    Coworker April fools joke? I've seen some good ones but have not seen way to make Excel do this.
