I knew I did not phrase that correctly when I sent it! Thanks! Here's the
deal. I have a word document, a volunteer application using tables. I would like for the user to be able to enter data requested by using the tab key to go from field to field and at the same time, not altering the fromat. Make sense? Thanks for your help!
