Dear Suzanne,

I was able to resolve the "bug" issue. It appears the bug was just in the
first template I created which ran the macro. It is working fine now.
Thanks!!

Dave

Hi,

I created a Word document template (.dot) with Form Fields, then I saved
the
template in Protected mode and restrict the user to only allow Filling-In
the
Forms Fields; however, if the user hits the Enter key, the form will
generate
a line break and distort the standardized document template. Is there a
macro or function in Word to disable the Enter key in a .dot form field?
If
not, maybe MS Offfice Development Team can add this feature to the Form
Field
Propeties dialog box. Thanks!

Hi Dave,

I was wondering how you solve the "bug" issue... This is really frustrating... Please help!

The Macro works well until I password protect my form... that's when the Runtime error 5980 shows up!

Thank you in advance for any light!...

Fixed the Run-time error 5980!! (Or at least I think I did!)

I'm using Word2003 on XP, therefore I had to tweak the AutoOpen and AutoClose macros in order for it to work as it should without popping any bug report! Nop, it doesn't give me any Run-time error 5980 anymore! YAY!

Sharing the codes below... Please note I was just a lucky beginner! Good Luck!

Sub AutoOpen()
' This macro will reassign the ENTER key when you open an existing
' Word form fields document.
CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
' Bind the Enter key to the EnterKeyMacro.
KeyBindings.Key BuildKeyCode(wdKeyReturn)
End Sub


Sub AutoClose()
CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
FindKey(KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyReturn)).Execut e
' Disables prompt to save template changes.
Templates(1).Save
End Sub
