Default Data entry into a form field

You can try using a macro that reassigns the Enter key:

Alternatively, you can put each field in a separate cell of a table that's
formatted with a fixed cell width and row height.

I have users in the warehouse that are accustomed to hitting the
enter key after they input information into a field. I need to
design a form that they input information into but the formatting and
print layout of the form need to be preserved even if they hit the
enter key after inputting the data in the field. Right now, if they
hit the enter key it adds a line and destroys the formatting and
print layout.
What can I do to solve this problem?
