Default activex command buttons and text boxes

I was hoping someone could help with coding an activex command button so it will clear text box feilds in a Word document. I've found the code to do this on a VB form, but the same code doesn't work in a Word doc. I would also like to be able to set as tab index in these same text boxes, so a person can scroll through them with the tab key. Once again, it works in a VB form, but I haven't figured it out how to do it in Word. Thanks.

I can't answer you original question re coding, but you can scroll through word text fields by using F11 (and shift F11 to go back). Our secretaries use this pretty often.

You will probably find that a UserForm is more useful in Word. See
