Default Cursor movement with a text box

Hi ?B?Qi4gSGFza2VsbA==?=,

I have a protected Word document that is used as a form. Some text boxes
will end up with multiple lines of user entered text. With Word 2000, the up
and down arrow keys could be used to move vertically within the text box.
With Word 2003 the same keys move the cursor to the previous or next text
box. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior? Or are there other
keys to move to the previous or next line in a text box?

You could use a couple of macros. Assign them to keyboard shortcuts...

Sub MoveDownALine()
Selection.MoveDown wdLine, 1
End Sub

Sub MoveUpALine()
Selection.MoveUp wdLine, 1
end Sub
