OK, I'm at my wit's end at this point.
All I need to do is take our end of shift report and make it into a standardized form for people to submit at the end of each shift (rather than the random e-mails with no standards we get now).
I've tried the following:
1.) I just built a table in Outlook that had blanks for the information to be filled in. It looked good and everything was fine until I realized that if someone were to try and tab through the document, Outlook keeps adding new cells. So I decided to try something else.
2.) Made a form in Infopath. This is all well and good, but it's a bigger change than I think we want to make right now.
3.) Tried to create a macro to stop new tabs from forming (works in Word), but it did nothing.
4.) Made a form in Word. That turned out great. I could tab through it, no problem. Then I copied the form into Outlook...same tabbing problem, creating new cells in the table.
5.) Decided to create a custom form in Outlook. It works, but it's not super flexible (I.E., boxes don't resize as needed)
6.) I also tried making the form in Word WITHOUT table and then pasting it into Outlook, but when I did that, all it did when I pressed tab inside of the text box was keep adding indentations into that text box
.
Can anyone give me some advice/help?
