I've been searching through Excel help and I can't seem to find out how to do this. What I want to do is use the Tab button like you use it in Word Processing apps. In other words, I want to be able to push a button and have it skip five spaces. So far I've been using the space bar five times. But obviously, this can become tiring on a very large document. Can anyone help?
Got a tip for us?

The reason I don't use the next box is because it won't line up correctly that way. This is an example of what I'm trying to do:
Accounts Payable................. $500.00
.. Borrowed Money.........
(Note: the dots are just to show spaces)
--------
Accounts Payable and borrowed money would be in the same column, where $500 would be in another column. I suppose I can use 3 cells in a row instead of two for this and just let them overlap, but I was hoping there was a way to just tab and keep them in the same column.
