Restoring the ability to Tab between fields instead of using Enter

[ddorrough]

I have created a form in Word 2003 and used the macros described in the
Microsoft article number 211219 to allow the Enter key to navigate between
the form fields instead of inserting a new paragraph. I now want to change
this behavior back, however for every new template or document based on a
template I create, the Enter key moves between the form fields. I have
deleted the macros described above; I have performed a "reset all" in the
customize keyboard form under tools – customize, I have ran a macro to using
keybindings.clearall, I have started Word using the /a switch, I have removed
everything from the Word startup directory, and I have deleted the Normal.dot
file and let Word create a fresh copy. None of this has worked. Can anyone
tell me what I’m missing?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You seem to have covered all the bases except specifically saying that you
have deleted all macros from the template from which the forms or documents
are being created. Have you looked there?

Doug,
Thanks for responding. I have deleted all the macros and recreated them
from scratch, leaving out the Microsoft macros of course. It still uses the
enter key to navigate between fields. What's more confusing to me is that if
I create a new userform using a completely different template, or even create
a completely new template, the enter key still navigates between the form
fields. It's as though something has modified the settings in Word so that
this is now the default behavior. I thought that removing the keyboard
customizations would solve this, but it changes nothing.

Any ideas?

Again, thanks for your help.
