I have set up an invoice as a table in Word.  In the past, I have been able
to use the Tab key to move from cell to cell, just as in Excel.  Now, when
I open this same document, the tab key generates a tab character within the
cell rather than tabbing from cell to cell.  What's the deal?  Have I 
inadvertantly changed some preference thingy?

You somehow lost the tab key from the 'Insert Tab' command. Open Commands...
and scroll to 'Insert Tab'. Press Add (key, not menu) and press tab. That
should do it. (Don't ask me why _adding_ tab causes Word to _not_ insert
them in tables. MicroLogic, no doubt.) 

I personally remove it so I get tabs...
