Hi all,

I use Word 2007 and added a couple of fields [e.g. (Ribbon: Developer
Group: Controls Icon: Rich Text (Aa)] in my *.dotx document.

Is there a way to jump from field to field when you create the a new
document from this template. As far as I remember this was possbile with F11
in the previous versions.

Kind regards,

Simon

PS: I do not want to protect the document, because the users may need to
adjust addtional points ( contract).

F11 (and Shift+F11) should still work, assuming that you are using the
legacy fields. It won't work with the so-called content controls, which
aren't fields.

But note that if you don't want to use a protected document, why not make
use of MACROBUTTON fields instead (these can also be accessed via the F11
key)? For more, see the first section of the article at

If you could use the plain text (vice the rich text) controls then you can
tab from field to field. Note - when you reach the end, the tab
unfortunately doesn't return you to the first field.

Good point.

I didn't even bother to test if these two types of content controls behaved
differently. :-(
