Set the tab order in a form
In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
- Double-click a field to edit its properties.
- In the Tab order box, type a number (1 - 999) indicating the tab order for the selected field.
If you specify the same number for two or more fields, the field that is first on the page will come first in the tab order. To remove the field from the tab order, type -1.
- Repeat this procedure for each field for which you want to set the tab order.
Note Only Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later support a custom tab order. Other Web browsers and earlier versions of Internet Explorer use the default tab order.
