form fill templates

[pete]

Im setting up a new form fill template and am having some trouble with the
fill n boxes. Is there a way to set the font, text size, etc for them that I
can apply to all of the boxes at once, or do i have to set them up
individually? The fill boxes need to be different font then the questions.
Also, is there a way to set the length of the response allowed so that
answers do not ramble on, and that once the question is answered the
respondee can easily tab to the next answer box/
thanks for any and all assistance!

Run a macro containing the following code before you protect the document
for filling in forms

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .FormFields.Count
With .FormFields(i).Range.Font
.Name = "some font name"
.Size = 15
End With
Next i
End With

When you do apply that protection, using the tab key will move the selection
from one formfield to the next.
