Setting tab order in Word 2000
Hello !
Please, is it possible to set the tab order (in text boxes, check boxes, option buttoms ) in Word 2000 ? Do I need to attach a VBA Macro ? In this case, could you provide me with a script for that ? Thanks in advance |

Setting tab order in Word 2000
Hello,
I have a follow-up question. Suppose I have many users who will be using this form. If I have to assign a macro to the fields, and if their macro security is set so high that they are unable to open the document, doesn't that defeat the purpose of designing a form in the first place? I have literally hundreds of users who would need to use the form and most of them don't know how to reduce their security settings (assuming they even have the ability to do so). Would it be easier in the long run to design the form according to the pre-defined tab order that Word is programmed for?

A high security setting will not prevent the document from opening, only
from stopping the macros it contains. Macros should be saved in templates and Word should be set to trust installed templates and add-ins. If your form is complex, you are not going to be able to avoid macros. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris Armistead wrote: Hello, I have a follow-up question.

Thanks for the advice, Graham -- I'd been designing a document instead of a
template, which must have been the source of my frustration. I'll save it as a template and give it a shot. Thanks!
