Hi Beth,

So, I already went down the form field road and created a document.
Everything was fine until I needed to add some more check boxes near the top
of the document. Now the cursor doesn't move through the document in the
order I want when I press tab.

What's the best way to get the cursor in the order I want? Do I have to add
a macro to each field? If so, what's the difference between and enter and an
exit macro? Or can I rename the bookmarks with the order number I want?

Thanks so much,

Karen

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. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. Among those
links is one on changing the tab order without redoing the entire form.

Hope this helps,
