How can I merge data into a form from the keyboard vs data file?

[samxtc]

I have a form that contains a std layout with changing entries (ie. parts
numbers and quantities). I would like to have the curser jump from a
completed entry to the next accepting data from the keyboard. I have done
this many years ago but was it in WordPerfect? Mmmm

Apprciate any help

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,
