Hi experts,

Thank you for helping.

I have a form having few fields and I want to auto tab from one field to another when previous field is full.

I have a script to do it but it needs to limit the number of characters in the fieds & I don't want to use limit character for auto-tabing because there is no fix numbers you can estimate as letter "M" will take more space then "i".

Also, Combo feature is not a good solution because I can notice that the sentences in the field are not evenly spaced when using the combo feature with limit character.

I just need to auto tab when there is no space left in the field.

Please help me 

Thank you

Then you need to write a function that calculates the length of the text, based on the characters used it in, the font and the font size.
