form fields navigation in Word 2003
I've created a form for a client. I used several text form fields and
put in some default text.Then I protected the form. I then navigate to my form fields using tab. My field then gets highlighted. BUT, when I start to type the default text is just pushed forward. It doesn't get overwritten. Even though I had the entire field highlighted. I keep navigating using tab. I never click anywhere. It still happens just like that. I opened a new document and recreated it. Same result. I then moved over to my computer. Here it works like it should. So I know how to do it right. There must be some settings on my client's computer. Does anybody know what it is? |

form fields navigation in Word 2003
There are two settings that could conceivably be relevant, though I wouldn't
expect either of them to affect text form fields. One is "Typing replaces selection" at Tools | Options | Edit (the more likely); the other (less likely) is "Select entire field with first or last character" at Tools | Options | Compatibility. -- Suzanne S.
