Are you using Forms? If so, when you LOCK the form, [Tab] gets you from one control to the next.

Skip, thanks for your reply,
unfortunately I am not using forms.
I have created a template, then added some fillin boxes to the template.

Is there anyway you can move to first fillin box using VBA ?

What kind of boxes? How did you insert the boxes in your document?

I am not sure you understood Skip's question. If your template has "fill-in boxes" it sounds like you mean formfields (as opposed to UserForms). Please clarify.

In VBA, to bring focus, use the SetFocus.property of the control object you want to focus on. This works for prety much all controls - textboxes, checkboxes etc.

Just to clarify, on your template are you protecting the sections with the "fill-in forms"? If so, this would be different from using VBA go move through specific fill in text fields.
