Form Fields Navigation

[spunkymuffmonkey]

Hi all,

I have a query about navigating within protected Form Fields within Word 2003.

By standard (I think), when a form is protected with text form fields within
it, using the up and down cursor keys jumps between form fields instead of
between lines of text within the formfield.

I have tried creating a simple macros:

Selection.MoveUp unit:=wdLine, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove

and

Selection.MoveDown unit:=wdLine, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove

and bound them to the up and down cursor keys but this seems to be ignored
when the form is proteced.

If anybody has any suggestions how I can change this then I would be very
grateful.

Kind regards

Assign the macros to Alt+U and Alt+D instead.

Hi Doug,

Excellent, why didn't I think of that!!

I wonder if it would it work if I bound it to the "alt & cursor keys" combo??

Many thanks indeed for the help!

In my tests, trying to bind it to Alt + a cursor key did not work (change
the default behaviour of the cursor key of moving to the next/previous
field.
