How do I lock the lines of a table?
I am using a table to create a form. The only problem is that after
protecting the form the "enter" key still makes the cursor go to the next line within the same cell. How do I prevent it from doing it so? |

How do I lock the lines of a table?
Set a fixed height for the relevant table row(s). Right-click the Table, and
choose Table Properties from the menu. On the Row tab, click "Specify height," and type the desired value. Then choose "Exactly" for "Row height is." Alternatively, if you want a macro solution, see the following KB article: How to code the ENTER key to move between form fields in a protected form in Word http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211219/en-us -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Adrica" wrote: I am using a table to create a form.

How do I lock the lines of a table?
A caution:
A table row with a fixed height, does not limit the text length that can be entered into a cell. It is possible to enter excess text, within the cell, which becomes hidden text. This text will not print, and is only visible when the cell height is resized. This can also happen with text boxes. Many business, and academics have been bitten by hidden text, that should not have made the final document. Tom C "Stefan Blom" wrote: Set a fixed height for the relevant table row(s).

This text will not print, and is only visible when the cell height is resized. Assuming that this is a protected document in versions prior to Word 2007, the purpose of the table cells is to accomplish exactly what you are describing. This can also happen with text boxes. Note that text boxes cannot be used in a document protected for forms. Many business, and academics have been bitten by hidden text, that should not have made the final document. Good point. It is easy to forget that what cannot (currently) be seen, can still exist in a document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP Tom C "Stefan Blom" wrote: Set a fixed height for the relevant table row(s).

Thanks,
I read to fast and missed "protected form". My knowledge of form creation in Word is limited. -- Tom Conrad ===== "Stefan Blom" wrote: "Tom Conrad" wrote: A caution: A table row with a fixed height, does not limit the text length that can be entered into a cell.
