How do you get tabs to work on spreadsheet?

I have a spreadsheet with some textboxes and other objects but pressing the tab key does not seem to work.

Thanks in advance !

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
You have to use protection.
Select the whole sheet by clicking on the empty grey box at the junction of your Headings (top left hand corner)Select Format>Cells and make sure the Protection is selected.
Select the Cells you want to type in and use the Format Menu > Format Cells and clear the Protection option.
Go into Tools>Protection and protect your Worksheet.
Now the Tab button should move from cell to cell for typing

We're getting closer. That's pretty slick.

On my spread sheet I have a checkbox, combobox, listbox and a textbox. I have created a survey and now I need for the users to tab between each object.

It's looking like it is not possible.

Thanks again!
