Already answered. The setting doesn't have any effect until you move out of
the field. It doesn't stop you entering anything you like within the field.

I am inserting a numeric form field into a Word 6 document. The field is
formatted as numeric, 10 characters, number format "0". Then I protect the
form and store it as a template. However, any time I produce a document
based on the template, it allows me to place up to 10 text or numeric
characters into the field. What am I doing wrong. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
