Protected doc w/ fields you can edit & tab through?
I am trying to protect a Word doc but allow users specific sections they can
enter in text. I have been able to do this somewhat with the Protect Document tool but it will not allow me to TAB through to all the fields that are editable. Currently if you hit TAB in one of these fields it moves the cursor over instead of jumping to the next editable field. Can anyone help me out? |

Tabbing should work with form fields (available also in previous versions).
However, if you are using content controls, which allow the insertion of tab characters, you can use the Up and Down arrows instead. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "srclary" wrote in message ...

Hi srclary,
By design, the Tab key moves between protected fields, but allows you to input tabs into unprotected sections of the document.
