Using the tab key

[Dave]

Hi, I have created an invoice, with the following blank fields that need to
be put in ever time. Name, Date,Address,Invoice No etc. I would like it to
work, so when you have entered the name, you then use the tab key to take you
to the next input field,ie date and then use the tab key to take you to the
next line etc,etc
Thanks
Dave

If the rest of the invoice will require free editing, use Macrobutton fields
(and move between them with F11 (rather than Tab)).

A more elegant approach would be to create a userform to collect and gather
the data and write to it docvariables. You can then use Docvariable fields
to display the resulting information. See For the basics, see Word MVP FAQ -
Userforms
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm

for a more in depth explanation, see
