Ordering tabs in a MS Word Table With Form Fields

[tuffy8]

I designed a form which uses a table containing form fields. There is a section of this form where I want the user to move vertically up and down table columns rather than horizonally when the tab key is pressed. What is the easiest way to change the movement in a table from horizontal to vertical? Thanks

Hi,
Are you referring to a "form" using the Forms toolbar, or are you referring to a UserForm in VBA?
I believe that you are stuck with the default tab order using the Forms toolbar. However, if you create a UserForm, you can control the tab order of each object on the form in the Tab Order Dialog Box. Skip,

However, this may be a work around, if you want to go to the trouble...

1. At the point that you want to change to verticle, insert a continuous Section break.

2. Lets assume you have a 5-column, 10-row table. Format/Columns/ Number of columns=5

3. Insert a 1-columns table of 10 rows

4. Insert a column break

5. repeat in each column.
