vbTab in macros

[ElfegoBaca]

I am trying to create a macro in Microsoft word. I have a protected document. I would like to create a macro that will enter 27 tabs in a row, thus moving to the 27th field. I have found that in Microsoft word, you cannot record a macro while in protected mode. So I created it in unprotected mode and then tried to run it while in protected mode. Unfortunatley this gets me an error. How can I write a macro that will move my curser 27 fields ahead?

You're certainly going about this the hard way!

Assuming the formfield you want to go to has an internal bookmark name (eg "Text27"), then add a macro like the following to your document and make it the 'on exit' macro for the formfield you want to get there from.

Sub MyNextField()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text27").Select
End Sub
