Preventing cell to expand when pressing 'enter'

[MaryJo]

I am creating a form, using a table as the template. I
have test field, and have locked the document so all you
need to do is tab to the next field which needs to be
filled out. Is there anyway to set it so if the user
accidentally hits the 'enter' button, it would not expand
the cell?

Hi MaryJo,

The simplest thing to do is set the height of the rows in the table to fixed
values.

Alternatively, you can change the behaviour of the Enter Key so that it
moves the selection to the next formfield by following the procedure in the
following Knowledge Base article:

Thanks, that worked great, except I get a little more than
half way down the page, and I get the following error
message "Run-time error '5941'The requested member of the
collection does not exist. When I select the debug
button "myformfield = Selection.Bookmarks(1).Name" is
highlighted, but I am not sure what I am supposed to do.
Thanks in advance for your help.
