Is there anyway to set it where a single click rather than a double
click and fill out the field?
Thanks

Use TAB to move between fields and/or double click the field to select the
content. Single clicking will always add to the content from the cursor
position.
You can't avoid the macros if you want more control over your form.
For the first field to be selected when a new form is created, save the
following macro in the form template
Sub AutoNew()
Dim bProtected As Boolean
'Unprotect the file
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
End If
'Put the cursor at the start of the document
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
'Select the first field
Selection.NextField.Select
'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End If
End Sub

Hello, I am trying to create a word template text form file for word
xp and curently I have everything down pact. However, in my text fill
in fields after I protect the document, whenver the user single click
the field it doesn't highlight the entire field instead they just
place the cursor in the field. When the the cursor is in the field
they are just typing text and changing the default text instead of
actually filling out the form. Is there anyway around this without
using macros or such? Thanks you.
