Stop carriage return in a form field in Word
I am trying to set up a form so that users can tab from field to filed to
complete. I want them to fill in details but not be able to press carriage return (next line) so that it alters the size of the field and causes the form to go off the page. |

Put the form fields in table cells of fixed proportions. It will not stop
users pressing enter, but they will quickly see something is wrong when their text disappears. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Phil O'Hara wrote: I am trying to set up a form so that users can tab from field to filed to complete.

dimensions. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
