On the Forms toolbar, click on the padlock to protect the document.
Then your tab key will work as you want it to.

You can also use the Tools menu, and select Protect Document which
will provide additional options if you are using Word 2002 or 2003.

Have fun!

How can make my cursor tab through only the text form fields and the
checkmark buttons on a form and not go into the text or questions on
the form.
