Word forms

How do I control a form field (Fill in) to keep it from expanding? I know I
can limit the number of characters under the properties, but how do I stop a
user from hitting the enter key and adding a new line in the field?

Is there a way set this up so that if a user hits enter, the prompt simply
tabs to the next field?

TIA

If you put the formfields inside the cells of a table with fixed cell
dimensions, the user will eventlually realise that they cannot see what they
have typed when the enter too much or press the Enter key.

If you want to make the Enter key move to the next formfield, see the
Knowledge Base Article "WD97: How to Code the ENTER Key to Move to Next
Field in Protected Form" at:
