Place cursor issue in MS Word Online

Questions and Help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m using the following snippet in Word Online:

{time: DD}.{time: MM}.{time: YYYY}{key: tab}Modul A – Tag {cursor:}{key: tab}Iblablablabla.{key: tab}E.Sxxx

The expansion itself works fine, but the {cursor} command is ignored—the cursor does not jump to the designated spot after the snippet expands.

The Word document uses a table for layout. Could the table (or the {key: tab} commands within it) be interfering with the cursor placement?

Has anyone encountered this or found a workaround? Thanks!

Hi @Eckhard_Sluiter Welcome to the forum! :slight_smile:

I am able to reproduce the issue. It looks like {cursor} does not work correctly in MS Word Online if we put a {key: tab} in the snippet along with it. I will look into the issue and see if there's anything we can do from our side to remedy this.

In the meantime, as a workaround, please consider using our {formtext} command.
