Consider using keyboard shortcuts instead of always relying on the mouse to perform operations. You might find that your entry work goes faster when your hands remain on the keyboard. Below are some keyboard shortcuts that work on the grid pages:

Column Wrap
When you are on the last student, pressing Enter takes you to the top of the next column.
Moving from Field to Field
The Tab and Shift + Tab keys can be used to move from one data control to the next. An exception to this is, once you are in the grid, the Tab key is used to move from cell to cell, and you can not use it to go to another control.
Other Navigational Aids
The assignment entry fields, toolbar buttons and menu items are all assigned a shortcut key combination. For example, notice the underlined P that appears on the Print button's caption. Holding the Alt key while pressing the underlined character (in this case, P), is the same as clicking the button.
