I scanned a document into a software program called "OmniForm" which creates
forms beautifully; set the tab order correctly to go through the four page
document. Since most of our staff do not have that program I saved it into
Word. I needed to make more adjustments and now when I protect the document
and try it out the tabs bounce me all over the place!!! How can you set the
tab order?

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. One of those links
tells how to set the tab order. I especially especially recommend Dian
Chapman's series of articles if you are trying to master forms.

Hope this helps,
