Word 07 Forms
What kind of form is this? If you are using the legacy form fields it should
definitely work. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "bepane" wrote in message ... I cannot use the Tab button to navigate in a form that I have created and protected. |

Word 07 Forms
I have used a combination of legacy controls and date picker, dropdown box,
and combo boxes. I have wondered why I have 3 choices of controls, those visible, legacy and activeX. "Stefan Blom" wrote: What kind of form is this?

Word 07 Forms
In a protected document, I believe legacy form fields are the only fields
that you can Tab to (but you should be able to use the Up and Down arrows to move between content controls). More importantly, though, mixing different type of controls is not recommended. Stick to one type. ActiveX controls tend to trigger Design mode (a result of macro security settings), which is why they are not recommended. In a protected document, form fields may be the best choice; it is the only choice if you want backward compatibility. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "bepane" wrote in message ...
