Hi Alan,
Forgot to translate the D/ formula:
=AND($A1<>"",$B1="")
Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Alan,
Open Office, not sure what works compared to Excel.
VBA code:
When cell A1 is changed and contains data and cell B1 doesn't, then a message is displayed.
Data Validation:
Enter a Input Message (2nd tab) to show when cell is selected.
Insert Comment:
Right-click cell to add comment to cell.
Conditional Formatting:
Select B1 and choose to use a formula: =EN($A1<>"";$B1="")
This is what I could think of. Hopefully there is something you like and can use.
Best regards,
Trowa

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value <> vbNullString And Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = vbNullString Then _
MsgBox ("Don't forget to enter the cell to the right.")
End Sub

Thank you for your suggestions
A/ The only reference to VBA in the Open Office Help is to “special basic modules” for code imported from Microsoft Office
B/ I have done experimentally and it works
C/ I have done experimentally and it sometimes works
but both B/and C/ give the message earlier than I want, on entering rather than leaving the first cell
D/ I also could not make D/ work in Calc
I tried A/ and D/ in an experimental Excel 2007 spreadsheet but could not make either of them work either. There seems to be no function called “EN”.
