No, there is no such function, nor is it possible to make one with
VBA. The problem is that there's no event that occurs to fire a macro.
If this is a must-have feature, redesign the form to display a
userform (custom dialog) for data entry, in which you can monitor
every keystroke. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm for a
beginning tutorial.

Is there a function, for a Word document Form, that will allow users to
"auto-tab" thru a Form field, so when the user has filled in one field, the
next field is automatically focused on.
I have several "description" fields in a Form I have created, and I would
like to use this function. If there is not a function can it be created in VB?
(I have a background in VB, but I am unsure if the Microsoft Visual Basic
Editor 6.3 has the proper Properties/Methods to create an "auto-Tab"
function)
Many thanks
