How do I stop word wrap in a Form text field.

Even if you limit thee text to 5 characters, pressing
Enter causes a new line and alters my form. Any ideas.

You can put the form field in a table cell and set the row to an Exact
height. This doesn't prevent users from entering more text, but it will
disappear if they press Enter. Or you can make the Enter key act like Tab.

This question is totally irrelevant to the thread and should have started a
new thread. Try saving your document to the HD first, then copying to the
floppy. Saving directly to a floppy (or opening directly from one) is one of
the top three causes of document corruption in Word.
