Automatic Jump to nest form field
I am creating a form to collect info from people in Word 2002 and I was
hoping there was a way to make the cursor jump to the next form field once the user had entered a set number of characters. i.e. they put in their area code and the cursor automatically puts them to the next box for the rest of their phone number. Thanks, Tom |

Thanks, Tom No, not in a form field. That can be done if you program a userform, which is a custom dialog (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...AUserForm.htm). If you continue to use form fields, you can assign the macro that displays the userform to be the field's entry macro, and the userform's OK button can put the user's answer into the form field and then jump to the next form field. There are several other ways to set this up. For help with design and programming, post in the Userforms newsgroup (http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...ba.userform s) with more details about what's in the form and how you want it to behave. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
