Word 2004 on Mac OS 10.4.4 is not allowing me to create dialog boxes in such
a way that the user can use the Tab key to move from one text box to the
other. I have done this many times in Windows and earlier versions of Word
for Macintosh. Furthermore, when I set a textbox as tabstop=0, the expected
behavior of having the focus on that textbox when the dialog box displays
does not work. The user has to first click in the textbox before it will
accept typing.
I have been over this dozens of time to ensure that tabStop=true and the
textboxes have TabIndex vlaues that are consecutive, beginning with zero.
What happens when running the dialog box is that:
- The user must first click a textbox to enter text
- Pressing the Tab key selects the text entered in the textbox, rather than
advancing focus to the textbox with the next higher TabIndex number, as is
expected.
- Continuing to press the Tab key does nothing. The selected text simply
remain selected.
Please help: Is there something I am overlooking, or is this a problem with
Word 2004?
