How to select text in Text Form Field
I have used Word to create a form that users can fill in. I have used Legacy Forms (not ActiveX Components) because I want the form to work in older Word versions as well. Everything has worked well ...
I'm running version 2011 (build 13426.20404) of Office 2019.
You could try updating to the most recent channel and version. However, if you are using a corporate/organization installation of Office, you may not be allowed to do that yourself.
I normally use Shift+Left/right arrow and it works well. It is only in the Text Form Field that it does not work. Thanks again for trying to help.
How strange. It is working here (tested in Word 2019), although it will be a bit more tricky compared to the corresponding task in an "ordinary" document.
Which version of Word/Office are you running?
I am using Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus and Word version 2002 Build 12527.21416 Click-to-Run (Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel).
I'm running version 2011 (build 13426.20404) of Office 2019.

Unfortunately, I cannot update my Word version. I also cannot control which version all the users are having. So, in the end, it seems like I cannot use the form the way I wanted. I will look for another solution. Perhaps converting the document in pdf and then commenting the pdf version. Thanks for your help.
