Setting tab order
The tab order of a form determines the order in which the cursor will move from field to field when a user presses Tab. By default, the cursor moves to fields in the order the fields were added to the form. Only editable fields are affected by tab order.
You can change the tab order of fields by choosing Arrange > Set Tab Order, then one of the following:


Top Left to Bottom Right
Sets the tab order of all fields to go from the top left corner of the form to the bottom right corner.
Manually
Lets you set the tab order of fields individually.



Changing tab order for individual fields
When you choose Arrange > Set Tab Order > Manually, the current tab order displays as numbers in the bottom left corners of the fields. When you are finished working with the tab order, choose this command again to hide the tab order numbers.

Any fields with a tab order of zero are not included in the tab order. Users can't tab to these fields.
To change the tab order for an individual field:
1       Open the context menu from the tab order number displayed on the field.
2       Choose the new tab order position.

First Tab Position
Makes this field first in the tab order.
Last Tab Position
Makes this field last in the tab order.
Other
Opens a dialog box that lets you type a tab order number that is not on the context menu.
The number must be within the range of possible tab order positions for all fields on the form.
The other fields are renumbered to accommodate your change.


Removing fields from the tab order
To remove a field from the tab order:
1       Open the context menu from the field.
2       Choose Remove from Tab Order.
This sets the tab order number to zero.


Testing tab order

1       Choose Form > Preview Form.
