Auto Jump Text Field to Text Field

[jhnbernhard]

I have a table, 10 rows 85 characters each row. Each has a text field name
(i.e., IncidentLine1, IncidentLine2, etc.). When the 86th character is
entered in IncidentLine1 is entered, I want to automatcially go to
IncidentLine2 and repeat the process for IncidentLine3, etc. Is there a way
to do this?

Not using Word's form fields, no. You could use a UserForm (custom dialog box),
or perhaps ActiveX controls (Control toolbox) and program code for this.
