Word document tab and type sheet
Rkaiser108 Tabbing moves the selection from one Formfield to the next in that document when it is open in Word in Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise Version 2306 (Build 16259.20182 Click-to-Run) Current Channel.
When you open the document in Word do you see the App Launcher - the nine dots enclosed by a red border at the top left of the following screen shot?
If you do see those dots, it indicates that you are opening the document in the On-line version of Word. It needs to be opened in the desktop application for the FormFields in the document to work as intended.
- it tabs to the next box, how can I get it to start at the colon?
Rkaiser108 If you mean without the two spaces highlighted in yellow in the following screenshot, it is necessary to remove the protection from the form and then delete those spaces
If you mean spaces such as those highlighted in yellow in this screen shot, they indicate that the data was entered into those FormFields while the document was not protected. They can be deleted with the form protect as they are actually in the FormFields.
This would be the result
- So what I am asking and trying to get back to is ..one the first line it says " First name: (then a blue box which currently has Ronald in it)... before I moved this form to my new computer, when I would hit tab, it would go to a space just after the colon and I could type Ronald; tab to Last Name and it would move to just after the colon on last name and I could just type the last name. It was like the colon was an identifier as to where the curser would go for the next tab.
And there are check boxes and drop-down menu's that are not working either. I understand that this may be a much bigger project than just asking what is wrong and I appreciate the help
