I need a template where users can tab to fields
I'm creating a letter template where users may tab to fields like address,
salutation, letter text, etc. I keep trying but when ever I tab it pushes the fields. Should I be using Insert, Field? |

If you want to keep the document editable then macrobutton fields are
probably the best bet - see http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steph wrote: I'm creating a letter template where users may tab to fields like address, salutation, letter text, etc. I keep trying but when ever I tab it pushes the fields.

In a non-protected form, the F11 key will move to the next field. To use
tabs, you need what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.

You still won't be able to use Tab, but you can use F11 to go to the next
field. -- Suzanne S.
