Default Form field order

When preparing a protected form, how can I get the cursor to go from field to
field in the order I wish? I thought it would go in the order in which I
placed the form fields, but that turned out not to be the case.

The form I'm trying to complete is a table where the cursor should go to the
right, then down, then to the right for the rest of the form. I'm sure I've
read about this somewhere--perhaps from one of you--but I can't remember.

Thanks for all you've done through the years to make me a better word
processor!

You are welcome. But note that I didn't write the article. :-)
