Default Fillable form question

Hello,



I am new to this forum which I found trying to find help for my form. I have a multi page template in Word 2011 for Mac. It is a contract form. My problem is that when I set up the fields everything works great except when people hit enter rather than tab it adds a line to the document and then the page breaks are off. I would like to add a page where you can input the information required by the fields throughout the contract with out having to tab through a multitude of pages. The page would be an question and answer form with the answers populating fields throughout the contract. Is this possible with Word?

The other solution is to find a way to disable the enter key or make the enter key act like the tab key.

Thanks for the upcoming help.

Hi rhyler1,

To make the Enter key behave like the Tab key, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211219

Thanks for the reply. I took a look at the page and it is a bit above my pay grade. I was looking for a more simple answer I guess. My last resort is to make a fillable pdf form. Was trying to avoid all the typing.

Thanks

Beyond taking the time to understand it, employing that solution requires little more than copying & pasting the code.
