You unfortunately don't mention the version of Word involved?
In some versions of Word, the OnEnter macros don't kick in when the mouse is
used. There's absolutely nothing you can do about that.
As an alternative, you could consider displaying a Userform when the document
starts up, and enforce the data entry in that. It can write to the document at
the same time so that the user can see what's what.
