Hello Nia,
Maybe you should try to create a custom focus order in Storyline for TextEntry fields. Then you should be able to go sequentially from one box to the next in the word in order you choose. When you reach the last letter in the first word, you move to the first letter of the next word, and so on. Another option is to use javascript to be able to move to the next box as you type as in my example below:

Hi Nedim,
I am having the same problem with focus / navigation in a cross word. I see this was posted a year ago but I was wondering if you can provide me with the Java code. I can only see the html file in Review.
Hello Ursula,
Thanks for reaching out! Nedim may no longer be subscribed to this discussion, as his last post here was 12 months ago. Please feel free to reach out to him via his email, which he shared here.
You can spend an awful lot of time and other resources trying to create crosswords from scratch in SL. Or you can get the fee Eclipse Crossword maker, save it as a web page and insert it into SL. All you have to do is type in the clues and answers and it makes the puzzle. As an added benefit, the learner can type in their answer by the word, instead of letter-by-letter.
Hi Ursula,
I’ve been quite busy lately, but I took some time to find and edit the original script and .story file initially posted by Nia. This was just a suggestion and a bit of an experiment. Please find the attached .story file, which includes both the JavaScript code and the focus order settings.
