Creating Template in Word 2007?
I'm trying to create a Template in Word 2007 as a Boxslip - basically
a table with one column and two rows (Data I am sending in 1st row, My info in second row - Address, phone number, email, etc). I have it created and saved in my "Trusted Templates). The problem I have is in the Data I am sending 1st row. I have in the My name at top Date: To: Subject: I set tabs on the Date, To, Subject lines so I can tab over and type in the necessary information and have all three aligned. But when I used the Template and go to one of those and Tab, it creates another row at the bottom of the table. How do I change it so that Tab go to the next tab setting instead of inserting a new row. I know I'm missing something, but can't figure it out. Thanks for any insights.

Creating Template in Word 2007?
When you're in a table, you have to use Ctrl+Tab to insert a tab character. As
you've seen, the Tab key alone jumps to the next cell or, if there is no next cell, creates a new row. That's the way Word has always worked.

Creating Template in Word 2007?
Hi Jay,
Thanks for the reply. I had this Template set up in the previous version of Word as a Table and was able to use the Tab key to move to the next Tab. I lost that Template and cannot remember how I set that up. I will try your suggestion and see if that makes it easier for me. Is there a way to change that default Tab operation?

Creating Template in Word 2007?
Perhaps you just used tab stops instead of a table, but the behavior of the
Tab key in a table has been the same through many, many versions of Word. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Charliec" wrote in message ...
