I need to be able to tturn the ENTER key into a tab key on Word 2003 Protected documents so it jumps from field to field instead of making carriage return line feeds. Can anyone help me?
See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q187/9/85.ASP. What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." 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.
