Default Keeping Form on one page

How can I keep people from using the enter key rather than tab to complete
forms causing the form to no longer be a one-page document. I have a message
at the top in red, but it isn't always read. Using Office Word 2003.

See €œWD: How to Code ENTER Key to Move to Next Field in Form€

The alternative is to put text form fields in table cells with exact row
height. This won't prevent users from pressing Enter, but their text will
disappear.
