I’m creating an interactive form that will be used to fill out using form fields. I want to be able to restrict the user from hitting “Enter” on the keyboard in certain areas of the form, which inserts another row/line. This will shift all the info on the form. Is this possible?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If you place each text form field inside a table cell whose dimensions are fixed, the layout of the form will be preserved. Most users will stop typing excessive text when they see that it disappears into the bottom margin of a table cell.

To actually prevent the Enter key from working in a form, you will have to make use of macros. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211219/en-us/ (How to code the ENTER key to move between form fields in a protected form in Word).
