So i'm trying to create a form in Word. I'm using the table method because
(from these discussion boards) that it's the easiest way to make a form and
have users be able to tab from field to field and they are able to type in
information. Problems I'm running into

1) When the line is finished and the user hits tab, it adds another row in
my table, how do i prevent this. I've seen answers such as making the
height/width EXACTLY....but how do i do this? when i hit on table properties,
I don't have the exactly option...(I'm using word 2003)...am i missing
something simple?

2) How do i jump from one field to the next using tab? By protecting the
document?

BTW, these discussion boards are much more helpful than the Microsoft
questions page and i would really appreciate any help.

The answer to question 2 is yes, you must protect the document for forms.
That's also the answer to question 1 -- when the document is protected, the
tab won't create a new row.

Read http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22 for more details.
