XCLN: How to Tab out of Multi-Line Rich Edit Field

ID: Q147116


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0


SUMMARY

If you press the Tab key while on a Microsoft Exchange Form, it will move the cursor between all fields on the form except a Multi-Line Rich Edit Field. To move from a Multi-Line Edit Field, use the mouse to click on the next field or use the Shift+Tab keys.


MORE INFORMATION

The Tab key will move the cursor between fields on a Form and will move the cursor into a Multi-Line Rich Edit Field. However, the Tab key will not move the cursor out of a Multi-Line Rich Edit Field. The Tab key will place Tabs into the Multi-Line Rich Edit Field. If the Edit Field is not a Multi- Line Edit Field, the Tab key will move to the next field.

This behavior is by design. The Shift+Tab keys should be used to move out of the Multi-Line Rich Edit field and into the next field on the form.
