Hi pruppert,

You could only change that behaviour by using an 'On Entry' macro attached to the formfield. This means, of course, that anyone using the form would need to allow macros to run when they open the document. Although some users may do this automatically, others may have their systems configured to automatically disable all macros. As well, some Word versions (notably Mac Word 2008 and the Word Starter edition) don't support macros, so an 'On Entry' macro wouldn't help those users either.

The EnterFieldBehavior Property applies to a userform, not to formfields.
