I don't quite understand what you mean by "inserting a tick" with =
Alt/I?????
Alt/I simple opens the Insert menu????

Are you attempting to add a symbol???

Are you actually using Form Fields (from the Forms Toolbar) or are you =
using
Fill-in fields? (Insert/Field). Or are you using ActiveX controls (from
Control Toolbox toolbar)???

Since there are THREE ways to create forms, with those objects mentioned
above...you need to supply more details before we can help.

related to forms in Word. See www.mousetrax.com/techpage.html#autoforms=20

I am using Word 97, but the problem also occurs in Word 2002. If I =
create a
form and setup a field that I want users to use <alt i> to insert a =
tick, it
all works well until I protect the document. I have selected fill-in =
enabled
in the text form field options.

when the user presses <alt i>, nothing is inserted. The user can enter =
other
characters in the filed (ie Normal text)
