Word 2010 Legacy Form Field Formatting on Older Document 1

[PWD]

Good morning, I don't suppose there's any way to introduce a 'mask' for a date field, i.e. ##/##/####? I've tried that and it didn't throw up any error message or stop me from tabbing to the next field when I entered 5/5/54. The length restriction works just fine at 10 characters. It's not a show-stopper, just thought it might be 'nice'/good to be able to do.

Many thanks,
D€$

You can set the formfield's properties to the 'Date' type, then specify the required Date format.

Yes, I missed that! "Type:"; then the "Maximum length:" is irrelevant. It's a while since I've done anything with Forms, thanx.

Many thanks,
