Re-order tab direction for a Form.

[Jerry]

Hello,,,,

And, THANKS for your Time, Help, and Advise!!!

I have a Word Document with many fields and the file is
set with TOOLS/PROTECTION/FORMS.

The order of the next field selected when the TAB is used
for data entry is WILD!!!!

Seems it is the sort order of the field name that is being
used to go to the next field when the TAB is pressed.

Using the WORD tools bars, is there a way to re-order
these fields so that the progresion of the TAB begins at
the first field and progresses to the next field position
in the document rather than jumping all over the
document?? (Maybe by VB code????)

THANK YOU for your Time, Help, and Advise!!!!

Jerry
