Default Press Enter in Protected Doc move to next field

How do you keep from having the enter key inserting
another line break in a form document?

I would like the enter key to work exactly like the tab
key on my form document. I do not want to allow for
multiple lines in the field.

Thank you

The low-tech way is to put the form field in a table cell and set the row
height to an exact amount. For the high-tech method, see "WD: How to Code
