MS Word 2003/Tabbing thru form
Is there a function, for a Word document Form, that will allow users to
"auto-tab" thru a Form field, so when the user has filled in one field, the next field is automatically focused on. I have several "description" fields in a Form I have created, and I would like to use this function. If there is not a function can it be created in VB? (I have a background in VB, but I am unsure if the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor 6.3 has the proper Properties/Methods to create an "auto-Tab" function) Many thanks Jeff |

No, there is no such function, nor is it possible to make one with
VBA. The problem is that there's no event that occurs to fire a macro. If this is a must-have feature, redesign the form to display a userform (custom dialog) for data entry, in which you can monitor every keystroke. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm for a beginning tutorial. -- 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.
