how to set up document to tab and then add information barb 12/16/2008 5:29:01 PM Hi - I am trying to do up letters for the company. I want to have a letter written and within the letter have areas where I can tab to so I can add information specific to the client. ex. I need a mechanical inspection for **year of veh and make of veh**. When I send this letter I would like to tab and it will take me to the area where veh info needs to be completed without my having to type over the information.

Alternatively, if you don't want to protect the document for forms, you can use MacroButton NoMacro fields instead (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm) and use F11 to skip from one to the next. -- Suzanne S.
