I have a form file I'm setting up. These documents will be used by multiple
people. They will be protected so no changes may be made to the original
form by anyone but me. Anyone needing these forms would download a copy to
their system that may be edited. There are blanks in these forms that would
then need to be filled in with client specific info. We want to set up the
form so that each user can easily advance to the next blank area with the
stroke of a key. What is the easiest way to do that? And if it's a macro, I
have no clue how to set one up.
Thanks
 
The easiest may be to lock the form after you have made those blanks into
fields.

Creating fields:
Developer - icon with tools over a folder - Legacy Forms. Use the ab| icon
for Text Form Field.

Locking the document:
Review - Protect Document - Restrict Formatting and Editing

Then people using the form use the "Tab" key to move from one field to the
next. They can use "Save As" when they are done if they want to keep changes
but this would not corrupt the original document since it's locked. Hope
that helps.
 
Can you please show me an example of creating fields -- I am the
paraprofessional in the office, not a IT person, so I need help with the
creating fields part. Don't even know which icon you are referring to. Sorry
