How to stop Carriage Return in textfield?
Hi,
I created a word2003 form with several textfields (with fixed length). After setting "document protection" I can enter text only in the textfields. Okay, that's what I wanted. But how do I prevent entering carriage returns in textfields whichs destroys my whole page layout? The page gets one line longer when entering the carriage return. Who knows a solution? Frieder |

Hi Doug,
how do I fix the cell height? And does this trick stop the text scrolling inside the formfield? Frieder Doug Robbins - Word MVP schrieb: Put the formfields in the cells of a borderless table which has fixed row heights. |

How to stop Carriage Return in textfield?
From the Tables menu, select Properties and the go to the Row tab and set
the height that you want and change the "At least" to "Exactly" This won't actually prevent the user from using the Enter key, but if they do so, or if they type more text than will fit on the line, it will not be visible and the layout of your document will not be affected.

How to stop Carriage Return in textfield?
Hi Doug,
do you know a trick how to fix all marked table cells in one move? Currently, when I have several cells with different height, I have to find the new height by trial and error. Because in the cell height field I only find the value "0 cm". Any ideas? Thanks!
