There are two possible approaches:
1. You can force the Enter key to function the same as Tab: see "WD: How to Code ENTER Key to Move to Next Field in Form" at http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=211219 2. You can put the form field in a table cell with row height set to an exact amount. This doesn't prevent users from pressing Enter, but most of them will get a clue when their text starts to disappear. -- Suzanne S.

The usual workaround is to place each field in a separate cell of a table, and set the cell widths and row heights to exact values so they can't expand. It doesn't prevent users from pressing Enter, but anything they type disappears. This may or may not be enough for your application. The alternative uses macros to change the Enter key so it behaves like the Tab key. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=187985 for details. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
