"Jumping Around" fields in a Word Doc???

[Jason Paris]

Hi all,

I've been asked the following question by one of the Word users in my
organisation:

"If you've got fields in a Word document, is there some way to just
TAB between each field?"

In other words, can a Word document be navigated in the same way as,
say, an online form..... where you jump from field to field with a
press of the TAB key?

Many thanks,

Jason Paris

Jason,

Tab? I don't think so. You can press the little radio button at the bottom
of the vertical slide bar, chose browse by "field" and use the Page Up/Page
down button

You can create an online form using the instructions given in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. Otherwise,
you can skip to the next field using F11.

I think Suzanne accidentally posted in the wrong place, I thought I'
put the link here in case you didn't notice it:

What do you mean "the wrong place"? You are aware, aren't you, that
wordforums is just a front end to NNTP newsgroups hosted by Microsoft (at
msnews.microsoft.com) and propagated by Usenet? I replied to a NG message
using Outlook Express (an NNTP newsreader); that message is visible to all
users reading the microsoft.public.word.newusers NG, whether via msnews,
wordforums, their ISP's news server, Google Groups, or the Microsoft
Communities.
