Default Placeholder for data

Hi

I was recently sent a Document where each section to be filled in was
accessed by hitting TAB,
the curser went to the next section automatically and you typed in your data
and hit TAB to get to the next.

Is creating a document like this a difficult thing to accomplish?
Is there a help site or Tutorial on how to do this?

thanks

Daniel

What you are describing is a protected form. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/LinesInForms.htm, especially the
links to articles by Dian Chapman.
