I have a template with one text field that could be two very different
inputs. Either a number (like 2003) in very large bold font or else a date
(XX/XX/XX) in normal (12pt) size. Is there a way to tab into this text field
and do one or the other? Or a better way?
thanks.

Are we talking about a document protected as a form? With form fields? Version
of Word?

I'd say that in any case you'd need a macro...

Hi Rob,

Use the following code on exit from the formfield (in this case Text1)

If Len(ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result) = 4 Then
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Range.Font.Size = 20
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Range.Font.Bold = True
Else
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Range.Style = "Normal"
End If
