Set up to move between form fields automatically?
I am wondering how to set up my Form Document to when a person is filling out
the form that when they complete one field it will automatically move to the next field. like with a phone number or date, (000)000-0000. The way it is now, once the (area code) is done, the person has to hit the Tab key to move. I was thinking there is a way to automatically once the field is completed the max characters allowed the curser would move to the the field. -- ART |

No, there is no way to get Word form fields in a protected form to act that
way. It can be done with fields in a UserForm (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
