I’ve created a template in MS Word that I would like to have users fill in
the fields but not allow them to modify the length of the document by using
the Enter key (Carriage Return), the protect function does not appear to
prevent them from doing this.

I tried the following macro in Visual Basic and it passed the DeBugger but
does not function as I intended

If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then keyCode = vbKeyTab

Has anyone encountered this before? Any insight would be welcomed.

Keymaster2006 was telling us:
Keymaster2006 nous racontait que :

See

for a set of macros to make the Enter key act like the Tab key in a
protected form.
