Set up form with MSWord's table feature letting users tab through
See the following page of fellow MVP Dian Chapman's website:

Doug Robbins - Word MVP "slycke" wrote in message ... I'm creating forms in MSWord for people who aren't word processors or even programmers. They are used to tabbing through forms to get to the next place to enter text; however, in Word tabbing creates a new table row. Is this a toggle that I can turn off somewhere? Or what should I do? Thanks. |

Thanks...but I have been forbidden to use macros or anything automated!
That's quickly becoming the problem. My boss at work says no one the forms will be going to will know what to do if presented with the "Disable/Enable Macros" message... Same thing for protecting the form. I'll keep trying!

You may not need to use macros. You will however need to protect the
document for forms for formfields to work. There is no other way to prevent a row from being added to a table when the user presses the tab key in the last cell of the last row of a table. At least not without out using a macro. It's about time the boss had a lesson in reality. -- Hope this helps.

Ordinary use of form fields doesn't require macros; it just requires
protecting the document for forms. There will be no macro warning. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "slycke" wrote in message ...

Thanks! I was planning on delving into protecting forms this morning when I
got to work...hopefully it will solve the problem. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Ordinary use of form fields doesn't require macros; it just requires protecting the document for forms.

I protected one form (to use as a test document), but I'm still getting the
macro warning upon attempting to open the form. Also, I went through setting macro security and adding a trusted developer (Microsoft doesn't seem to be included in the list, although Visio seems to be) and couldn't add Microsoft because I'll need a custom program (?) that doesn't seem to be included in the software at work. I'll keep trying  "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Ordinary use of form fields doesn't require macros; it just requires protecting the document for forms. There will be no macro warning. -- Suzanne S.

Be careful to use only form fields from the Forms toolbar, not ActiveX
controls from the Controls Toolbox. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "slycke" wrote in message ...
