enter key

[Guest]

I made a form in word, and I put fields on the form (little grey boxes). I
have protected the form also. I want to make it so that you can only tab to
the fields, and not be able to hit enter. If they hit enter, it adds extra
lines on the form, and spaces it out etc, so it may go to 2 pages. In
researching it, it said something about creating a macro or something? Do u
know how to do it?

The poor man's solution is just to put the form field in a table cell of
fixed height.

Put the formfields in the cells of a table that has fixed cell dimensions.

The macro that you are talking about will allow you use the enter key from
one formfield to the next
