Hard Returns MS Word Template Form
I'm using MS XP and Word97. How do I stop anyone from entering a hard return
in my form? For example: If I have the following in the form (example), Last Name: text form field First Name: text form field If the curser is in the text form field and I press "Enter" the entire line from the right of that will drop down to the next line. Last Name: text form field First Name: text form field text form field First Name: text form field Also, if the text form field is let's say 10 characters. As I type in the text form field for the entire 10 characters, the next field to the right starts moving to the right. Example: Last Name: text form field First Name: text form field If I start typing in last name, the first name fiels starts moving to the right by the number of characters I typed into the last name field. Last Name: aaaaaaaaaa First Name: text form field Thanks.\John |

Hard Returns MS Word Template Form
Restrict the amount of space available by inserting the field in a
(borderless) table cell of fixed dimensions. It won't stop the users pressing the enter key, but if they do the extra lines will not be visible. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John wrote: I'm using MS XP and Word97.

Thanks. Your suggestion worked for fixing field lengths. Although the lines are not visable the form adds a line when "Enter" is pressed. Is there anyway to supress the blank line?

If you set the row height of the cell that contains the field to exactly
accommodate the line height you will not get a blank line. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John wrote: Graham: Thanks.
