Tab-key order for text-fields inside scheme?
Hello I scanned a scheme with text-fields and I am using it as a
background in a word document. As I want to use the scheme-function in word, I have added text-boxes (to accurately fit the textfields to the scanned background) with scheme-text-fields inside of the boxes. The problem is; Using the tab-key to move between the boxes is a pain in the ass, as one have to press tab 2 times to move between the first two fields, then 4 times to move to the next field, then 4 times to move to the next field, etc.. How can I change tab-key-sequence/order? The document can be found he http://www.larsen.cd/diverse/scheme.doc Thanks, Øystein |

I don't know what you mean by a "scheme"? Do you mean, perhaps, a form (as in a document where information needs to be filled in)? Assuming I'm interpreting this correctly, try using FRAMES (a button that can be found in the FORMS toolbar) to position the form fields (text boxes from the same toolbar). Once you protect the document as a form, using TAB should move from form field to form field with one press.

Well, I don't know if you have downloaded the document referred to
above. The problem was that I had to press tab several times before getting to the next form field. This is what had happened: - I inserted frames, and then put form fields inside of the frames. - But; I had somehow managed to put several fields inside 1 frame, but resized the frame to fit only one. - As I pressed TAB I moved from field 1 to field 2 then to field 3, but of course, field 2 and 3 doesn't show, and that's why I had to press TAB several times to get to the next (visible) form field.. Now I removed the hidden fields and TAB works ok! Thanks anyway:-) (/øystein |

Well, I don't know if you have downloaded the document referred to
above. No. As a general rule, I won't d/l and view documents (unless I'm being paid to). The dangers these days are just too great... Glad you figured it out and that things are up and running! This is what had happened: - I inserted frames, and then put form fields inside of the frames. - But; I had somehow managed to put several fields inside 1 frame, but resized the frame to fit only one. - As I pressed TAB I moved from field 1 to field 2 then to field 3, but of course, field 2 and 3 doesn't show, and that's why I had to press TAB several times to get to the next (visible) form field..
