Good Morning Everyone!
Here is my dilema: I created a form in Word 2003. I have the document
protected so that only certain cells can be filled in. It works well, the
only problem I'm having is that someone can still hit the enter key and
change the size of the cell. Is it possible to format so that when the enter
key is hit, it moves to the next editable field? Thanks for any help!!!!
 
See this KB article:

Word

Alternatively, if you want to avoid macros, a commonly used method is to
specify a fixed height for the table rows. Although this won't prevent users
from pressing Enter, the excessive text won't be visible and the layout of
the document will not be affected.
 
I tried the Macros you suggested and when I was debugging it said "error
cannot change function of the enter key"
 
It should definitely be working. Did you make sure to follow the
instructions carefully?
