textbox tab movement

Postby dHJhbnRoMDE » Thu, 02 Aug 2007 21:26:08 GMT

I'm creating a document in Word right now that has textboxes.  I want to be 
able to move from textbox to textbox using the Tab key.  How do i do this?  I 
tried to protect the document and I'm able to move from box to box and still 
type in the textboxes but then when I close the doc and save it and open it 
again, the entire doc is locked and so i can't edit anything....what am I 
doing wrong?

You'll need to convert the text boxes to frames, and add text form fields to 
them; then you'll be able to move between them by pressing Tab. But unless 
you really need a protected document, this would be overkill. What exactly is 
the purpose of your document?

It's a Study Abroad Permission Form, my office only wants the students to be 
able to fill in certain areas...i guess to make sure that everything else 
stays uniform and so I'm making up the form based on what they are currently 
using

In that case, you need to learn more about making protected forms. See

the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

1.keyboard cursor movement to right in outline adds "tab-like" arrow

When I am in Word 2003 in a bullets & numbering outline and I try to manually 
arrow to the right (ctrl arrow) it inserts tab-like arrrows into the text. 
When I move the cursor to the left, or up or down, it works normally. When I 
select text, it works normally in all directions. When I'm in the same 
document but not in an area that is formatted with bullets and numbering it 
moves normally. Only when I am trying to move to the right in text and 
hitting ctrl and right arrow do the tab-like arrows appear. I have tried to 
find the auto-format, styles, etc switches that must be doing this but can't. 
Help! Its killing me and destroying my productivity.

2.Weird Tabs and Cursor movement

I created a 12 page form with many tables. Each table has text form fields. 
Each page of the form has a table with one row that serves as the header. 
This eader tablehas six columns and each cell has a text form field in 
it. This row is on each of the 12 pages. Once the user types in the required 
information, the information fills down to each of the 10 pages. 

The user uses the tab key to move between form fields on each page, 
including the header table cells.  However, when the user tabs in to or out 
of the header table cells, the cursor briefly jumps to the very top of the 
document and then returns to the next cell.

Even weirder, when I mouse-click on the header table cells, the cursor jumps 
to the top of the document and stays there/

How can I stop this?

I used the following code for the fill downs

Sub Autofill_Name1()
  Dim strInput As String
  
  strInput = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name1").Result
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name2").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name3").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name4").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name5").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name6").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name7").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name8").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name9").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name10").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name11").Result = strInput
  ActiveDocument.FormFields("Name12").Result = strInput
  
End Sub

3.How to set the sequence of movements of the "tab" key

Hi,

I have put a number of textboxes on an userform.  When I move around
the textboxes by pressing the "tab" key, the sequence of moving from
one textbox to another is not what I want.  Can I change the sequence
of movements of the "tab" key?

5.Tab key not working with textboxes - KeyCode=9 not being recognized

Hello all,

I have three textboxes that I created by clicking on the textbox icon in the 
control toolbox.  For each of these textboxes I have the following code:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal 
Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = 9 Then Me.TextBox2.Activate
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox2_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal 
Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = 9 Then Me.TextBox3.Activate
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox3_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal 
Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = 9 Then Me.TextBox1.Activate
End Sub

When I click on the first textbox and hit enter, the code does what I want 
it to do i.e. the focus moves the focus from TextBox1 to TextBox2.  But when 
I hit tab again, instead of the focus moving from TextBox2 to TextBox3, a 
tab character is entered in TextBox2.  If I click outside any of the boxes, 
then click in TextBox2 and hit tab, it works fine again i.e. the focus moves 
from TextBox2 to TextBox3.  Why doest my focus move from TextBox2 to 
TextBox3 without going through the deselcting and selecting operation with 
the mouse?  How can I fix it?

Please help.
