possible to limit cell to a single line of text?

Is it possible in Word 2002 to restrict a cell (being used in a form with a
field in the cell) to a single line of text? Right now we're intercepting
the enter key with a vba macro, but we wondered if there's a better way to
do this.

thanks.

Yes, or at least to restrict it to displaying a single line of text. You can
also limit how much can be typed into a formfield. Restrict your table cell
and row, don't let them grow automatically.

For more about online forms, follow the links at

Hope this helps,

thank you; and I apologize for my wife and I both posting the same question
here. We work together, and happen to be on the same project, and just got
confused as to who would handle the news group question when this problem
arose.

thanks again,

Chip
