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: http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q187/9/85.ASP -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Bruce" wrote in message ...
