MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2006automate jump to next form field
In a Microsoft Word 2003 fill-in form, can I automate a jump to the next form field once information is entered into the field? Ex. once a 3-digit area code is entered, how can I automate the jump to the 3-digit prefix, without the user having to tab over? This may satisfy you WD97: How to Code the ENTER Key to Move to Next Field in Protected Form http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q187/9/85.ASP  SignatureHope this helps.

This would substitute the ENTER key for the TAB key. Is there a way to program an automatic jump to next field so that, when data has been entered that satisfies the properties for that field (ex. 3 normal-text characters in a text field or selection made from drop-down list), the cursor jumps to the next field? Again, thanks! > This may satisfy you > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > without > > the user having to tab over? Not that I know of. The problem is the only two events that you have to work with are the "On Entry" and "On Exit" to/from the formfield. SignatureHope this helps.

Assuming you mean an online form rather than a userform, there is no way I know of to do this.
