Data entry apparatus for entering tabular data row by row and column by column

摘要

A keyboard/display apparatus enters tabular data in two different modes. For the entry of tabular data in a row by row mode, a tab key on the keyboard is depressed for causing tabbing to a next set tab on the same line. For the entry of tabular data in a column by column mode, a coded tab is keyed for causing left tabbing to a nearest set tab on a following line.
