Hi - I am trying to do up letters for the company. I want to have a letter
written and within the letter have areas where I can tab to so I can add
information specific to the client. ex. I need a mechanical inspection for
**year of veh and make of veh**. When I send this letter I would like to tab
and it will take me to the area where veh info needs to be completed without
my having to type over the information.
 
You can use form fields for this (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to), and they do
permit tabbing. Alternatively, if you don't want to protect the document for
forms, you can use MacroButton NoMacro fields instead (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm) and use F11 to
skip from one to the next.
