Lost my enter/return function

[Guest]

I had created a form two days ago and entered a macro that allowed users to
enter to the next form field rather than tab (found codes in previous
discussions here at microsoft.com) - worked great. Came back today to type a
regular document and I cant enter/return to next line or to seperate
paragraphs. I can put in a soft enter (SHIFT + ENTER). I have no clue how I
lost the regular function. Help!

If the form field macro is like the one in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211219, you should have an AutoClose
macro with it that turns off the Enter-key assignment. Maybe that macro is
missing or, for some reason, it isn't running. Most likely, though, the
problem is that you stored the macros in your Normal.dot template, so every
time you start Word the key assignment is being changed. It's very important
that all these macros are stored in a template that is the base for the
form, _not_ in your Normal.dot template.

To get back the Enter function now, put the cursor in the code of the
AutoClose macro (if necessary, copy that code from the web page and paste it
into the code window of the VBA editor) and press F5 to run it.
