Intercept {Enter} key in VBA

[Tim]

I have written a routine "InsertPageBreak" that checks the Selection range
to ensure that no bookmarks will be split by insertion of the page break.

I would like to do the same for whenever the {Enter} key is pressed to
start a new paragraph, but I can't find a Word command that is initiated
by the {Enter} keystroke.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Tim,

You can assign the Enter key to a macro if you want to.

Unfortunately, neither the Enter key nor the Tab key can be assigned to a
macro using the Tools Customize dialog. However, you can write a small bit
of VBA that assigns them to a macro. This article shows you how

To assign the Enter key, just use wdKeyReturn instead of wdKeyTab.
