Hoow to move between form fileds when maximum length is reached

[dejann]

HI, does anyone know how to help me with this problem:

I have word document with a lot of formfields in it. I would like to write
a code for this scenario: when user enters a maximum alowed number of
characters ih the formfield I would like the coursor to enter the next
formfield int the document. By coding this user would not need to press tab
or enter to move to next field.

I do not know how to capture the event when the user enters a character in
the word document....

So if anyone can help me with this please do so...

There's no way to capture this event.

It's possible to do this in a UserForm, but not in form fields within
a document. It sounds like you have too much in your form already to
want to rewrite it as a UserForm, so you're stuck without this
feature.
