stops so that one can tab to the blamk and then start tyoing in data. How
did they do that?

Hi Bill,

That's what Word calls an "online form" or "protected form". See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm for references.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this

Hope this helps,
