I am trying to design a document that you able to enter the data without
having to changing the document itself. For example, it may have name:, date:, subject: etc.. and you can hit the tab key and go to item without the "name", "subject", etc moving on the form. And if I wanted to have the data underlined, it would do so without having to go back and manually underline. Hope this makes since. Thanks! |

Alex, You can accomplish this by inserting fields into your document. The forms tool bar will allow you to insert the appropriate fields. After you can completed entering the form fields, highlight the padlock (it is the last button on the forms toolbar). This will lock the form and only allow the fields to be editable. You can navigate from field to field using the tab button. To handle the underlining, I typically lay my forms out in tables and use the borders to act as the underlining. Hope that helps. |

What you are describing is a protected form. You do need to set this up as a
template so that each user creates a new document based on the template and fills it out. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. If you put your form fields in table cells (recommended), you can apply a bottom border if desired. -- Suzanne S.
