Default F9 Function Key

Hello,

I previously worked for a company who used to be able to press the F9 key and the curser would automatically go to part of the letter pre marked like { } which would enable you to type in what information needed to go in. You could then press the F9 key again and it would take you to the next { } and so forth.

Does anybody have any idea how to set this up or know what it is called so I can look it up?

Other than community forums I'v tried everywhere.

Thanks in advance

Gordon

The document probably had Fillin fields (or Ask fields) in those locations.

You probably should consider using a userform instead.

the article "How to create a Userform" at:
