i'm trying to design a template in word 2000.i have a
table with 4 colums 2 of which are filled ( 1 and 3).the
other 2 are for different information.on completion of the
table i want to be able to tab across the cells missing
out cell 1 and 3. Is there any way of doing this? if so
please help, thanks
 
You could use Text Box form fields (from the Forms toolbar) in the table.

In your Visual Basic Editor write a series of macros like this


Sub GoToText4

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text4").Select

'put in the real name of the text box you want to go to, instead of Text4

End Sub

Use this as the Exit macro ie

If you double click on a form field an Options box will appear. You will see
its name under Bookmark. Click the down arrow next to Exit and choose the
Sub. When the user tabs out of the form field he will immediately be taken
to the textbox called Text4.

The subs can do other neat stuff too, like taking the user back to the form
field if he leaves it blank.

Evi
