Tab through fields in a Word form
I'm creating a form in Word and would like people to be able to tab through
the fields (text and option buttons primarily). It seems like that would be the default behavior, but when I hit the tab or enter key nothing happens.... Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Thanks very much! |
