Default FORM FIELDS in WORD 2000

I've created a form using form fields and i've set options for each
(dropdown, checkbox,etc). The problem i am having is:

1. TEXT FIELD: say i set it for numbers only. when i go back and lock the
form to test the field, I am still able to type in abcdefghijifkj;akljlkag (u
get the picture i pray), in other words, I am still able to type everything
and numbers. How do i set the field so you can enter text or numbers only?
this is the only thing that's driving me insane!!!!

Default FORM FIELDS in WORD 2000

See the article "How to validate the contents of a formfield in a Word form"
at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...ateFFields.htm

and make use of the IsNumeric() function in the case of numbers.

Hope this helps.
