I have a form that have text fields so that they can type unlimited text, but
I need it to be required. Meaning the person has to input something in the
text field before moving on to the next question. Is there a way to do this
in Word 2004?

Thanks for your help!


See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...ateFFields.htm. Test whether
the field's .Result contains five nonbreaking spaces (that's the default content
of a text form field).
