Default How do I make "tab" go from form field to form field?

I have created a form in Word and am trying to make it automatically tab
between form fields without adding a macro and without adding a button to
everyone's toolbar. Can this be done

If your form is protected, it should tab from field to field.

Your form needs to be protected or locked. What you are talking about is
what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online
forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
