RE: Need to block ability to press <Enter> in form fields (MS WORD 2003)

["Hemstreet, Deborah" <DHemstreet -at- kaydon -dot- com>]

Rewriting in Perl is not an option for us, though an elegant solution...

I am going to try Dan's recommended solution (Macro) and will let you
all know what happens

Thanks!

Personally, I'd rewrite the whole thing in Perl. It would take me a 
couple of days at most.
