If you have created a protected form with form fields pressing tab moves
between the form fields without the need for a macro? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Coops wrote: I have created a form in Word and protected it from editing but I want the user to be able to tab through the text fields.

OK.....you're right....I created a Word Doc, not a form, with form fields.
Pressing the tab button doesn't do anything right now. Is there a setting I'm missing? thanks "Graham Mayor" wrote: If you have created a protected form with form fields pressing tab moves between the form fields without the need for a macro? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Coops wrote: I have created a form in Word and protected it from editing but I want the user to be able to tab through the text fields.
