Protected Forms in WOrd

formBuilder

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) Processor: Intel I am creating a protected form in Word. It is a review form. I would like to create a numbered list within a question on the form that upon a C return the form will create a new sequential number. Is this possible in a protected form

No. It's not possible.

On the PC, you can make VBA macros that can respond to an "Enter" command,
but you cannot trap or respond to a carriage return. An "Enter" is an
"Application Event" and you can post a wait for that in VBA. A carriage
return is not an event, it's a character, so you can't.

In Office 2008 on the Mac, you have no VBA, so you can't even do that.

Hope this helps
