Scrolling screen

[Robert]

I have a long form with multiple formfield textboxes. As
the user tabs through the textboxes, Word automatically
scrolls to keep the selected textbox on screen at the
lower edge. Is there a way to keep the selected textbox
in the middle of the screen? In the same vein, I have a
macro that causes the cursor to jump to another textbox
and when that happens, Word doesn't scroll there--the
textbox is off the screen. Is there a way to control which
part of the document is on screen? Thanks.

You can experiment with a macro that is fired on entry to the form field.
Try something like this

ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=3

This will scroll down 3 lines.

If you are using Word 2000 or later, this should work

ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView Selection.Range
