Revisit to Trapping Keystrokes In A Document (Word 2003/2007 VBA)

Greetings,

I need to write a VBA event handler to trap the return and tab keys in Word.
Though I can cope with using simple API calls as such, I am totally lost when it comes to trying to create this event handler.
Does anyone know where I can get any examples of event handlers using SetWindowsHookEx from VBA.

You don’t need Windows API calls to do that. You can use KeyBindings.Add to assign a macro to the wdKeyReturn key, and another one to the wdKeyTab key.
Look up KeyBindings in the Word VBA help.

Boy was I on the wrong track! Thanks Hans.
