I want to create a form in MS Word using a table. After
entering Text Form Field and protecting the form, if the
user hits the enter key, they increase the size of the
cell. Iknow how to limit the amount of characters. I know
how to limit the row height (cell height ), but this does
not solve the problem. Is there any way to design the form
so that pressing the "Enter Key" tabs the user to the next
field?

Hi, Frank,

You can create macros that change the function of the Enter
key while the form is active, so that it behaves like the Tab key. This is
described at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=187985.
