And yes, it's a text field in a table cell. But, even the control click thing ain't working. No matter what I do, when I click on anything, it selects all the text to the end of the cell. The control key doesn't make any difference. Pretty weird. I never noticed this before. I guess I never had to select the text inside a text field in a table before...LOL Looks like Dian may be right Sue and the person who made this form needs to take some lessons from her. Cuz, I sure can't seem to select single words or letters, no matter what I try here. Sorry.

You CAN select word by word, by holding down the control key and double clicking on the words to "gather" up what you need. An easier way to handle this, if you need to paste in repeat text into fields, is to either use AutoText or just open a second document, type our your basic info and copy from that document into the fields you need. Note however, if you're being forced to repeat information, the form designers could have done a better job automating the process to eliminate this problem. You might want to show them my many free tutorials on forms at wwww.mousetrax.com/techpage.html#autoforms or point them to my eBook on Word AutoForms & Beginning VBA where I teach BETTER practices for form creation!
