Data entry into a form field
I have users in the warehouse that are accustomed to hitting the enter key
after they input information into a field. I need to design a form that they input information into but the formatting and print layout of the form need to be preserved even if they hit the enter key after inputting the data in the field. Right now, if they hit the enter key it adds a line and destroys the formatting and print layout. What can I do to solve this problem? |
