In Forms, want to use "Enter" to advance to next field instead of

[Nitaj]

Typically, when filling out forms, "enter" is used to complete the entry and
advance to the next field.

In Word 2002, although the document is protected, hitting "enter" just
inserts a paragraph return outside of the field, which messes up the Form's
format.

How do I get "Enter" to only advance to the next field once the document is
locked? I am using the "Forms" tool bar.

Thanks!

This has _never_ been typical behavior for Word.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." For more
about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. The first link includes a link to instructions
on changing the function of the Enter key in Word online forms. You may also

Hope this helps,
