I have a Word document that I added text form fields to. I call myself
protecting the document so only the fields can be filled in. If I use the
tab key everything works fine. The problem is that if I press the €œenter€� key
it add a line, if you continue to press the enter key you could add 100
pages. I have checked the Editing restrictions for filling in forms and
Formatting restrictions. Im using Word 2003. is this correct or is there a
fix?

Thank You
Wm.

That's the way it works. There's no way to prevent pressing Enter in a
form field.

To prevent the form field from expanding, you can put the field in a
cell of a table and use Table Table Properties Rows to set an
exact height for the row. Although you can type tons of stuff into the
field, anything that doesn't fit in the table cell will just
disappear.
