Awesome, I was thinking this but I have not used vba just taught it for 4
years. I retired last year after being a programmer/system analyst/trainer
for 40 years and I wanted to continue help train the workforce on Microsoft
Office from my home so that I don't have to travel in my old age and spend
money on gas.

It is so cool to share info with experts. Thanks a lot I will try this out
and let you know what happens.

Yes, you can, but it takes vba and essentially changes your Enter key into a
Tab key when you are in the document. You can find a link to this solution
at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms. You may also want
to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.

Hope this helps,

Can you make the text form field not allow someone to press the enter key
and
start and new line and change the lines in the form.

When the text field is inserted, length changed to 15 characters and the
protect put on, you can tab to the field, type 15 characters and it will
stop, but when you press enter key it goes down and adds more lines??
