How to prevent a carriage return in text form field.

[Keven with an MS Word Form Question]

I've created a form using MS Word from Office 2003. I've inserted "text form
fields" throughout many cells in the table and limited the character length
to not exceed the width of a given cell. All is fine except when entering
characters in a text field, the user is able press the "Enter" key, which
forces creation of another row, which I'd like to prevent. Can this be done
and if so, how?

Thanks,
Keven

If users are willing to enable macros, see “WD: How to Code ENTER Key to
Move to Next Field in Form†at http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=211219

Otherwise, your best bet is to just give the cell an Exact height.

Suzanne,

Thanks for the fast reply. Assigning a cell a fixed height worked fine.
