MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2006Formating Date Fields
I have a form with a field that a person enters the date. Is it possible to have the field automatically format a certain way no matter how the person enters the date, like Excel does? Provided they enter a valid date format then yes. Unlock the form and double-click the field. Select "Field type" as Date and set the desired format. > I have a form with a field that a person enters the date.

Is it possible to split a field into two sections with specific lengths or to have a field become the active field once the limit of the previous field is reached? I have a table that has extra rows for "by hand" input. I need the field to continue on the same row. Thanks Not with Word FormFields.  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP > Great! That worked.
