Stevan,
It's almost laughable that I should give instructions since I know very little about JavaScript, but here goes . . .
Be sure to follow George's instruction precisely. Make three text fields, which I'll call Text1, Text2, and Text 3.
1) For the first text field, in the Options tab, remove Multi-line and remove Scroll long text. In the Format tab, in Custom Keystroke Script, click the Edit button, and enter the following:
var t1=this.getField ("Text1");
if (event.fieldFull)
{
getField("Text2").setFocus();
}
2) For the second text field, in the Options tab, remove Multi-line and remove Scroll long text. In the Format tab, in Custom Keystroke Script, click the Edit button, and enter the following:
var t2=this.getField ("Text2");
if (event.fieldFull)
{
getField("Text3").setFocus();
}
Click the Hand tool and start entering text in the first text field. When you run out of space in the first text field it should flow to the second text field and then to the third.
As noted in my previous message of October 7, 8:05, there are some very severe limitations to this technique which I've not been able to overcome. I was hoping that George might have a suggestion to offer about the limitations, but since we haven't heard from him, maybe there are no workarounds for the limitations.
