    I've created a form in Word (Office XP Pro). and when I press the "TAB" key it will cicle me through the 'Text Form Fields' but there's one 'text form field' that it skips until the end of the form. It will tab to it but only when I'm at the bottom of the form it will tab back up to the top of the form to that field.

    Is there a way to set the order of the 'text form fields' to tell it which one's I want it to go to.

    Thanks.
    Bill

    There are several ways - but nothing real simple. No way to just set it in the properties a user can get to. The best methods require some vb scripting or macros.

    Take a look Here for one excellent method. And Here is another very similar one but with a very detailed how-to that should allow you to set things up even if you've never seen VBS code before.
