You could try adding a KeyDown event for every text box control.<br />
So if one of the text boxes is named TextBox1 you could use the following so that when then user presses the Tab key the focus is set back to itself.<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-135252">Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = 9 Then TextBox1.Select
End Sub
</code></pre>

Sorry, my typo mistake. I mean I cannot use the Tab to tab through the fields. It always say within the current field. How to solve this ?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have created several fields on my Word2007 to restrict users for the input.<br />
<br />
The property of the fields has been set with &quot;AutoTab&quot; to false and &quot;SpecialEffect&quot; to &quot;0-fmSpecialEffectFlat&quot; in order to disable the border around the field during printing.<br />
<br />
However, I found that users could tab from one field to another. Is there any way to get around this problem ?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Create fields on Word 2007

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
