Default Form won' tab through properly

Hi I need to create an electronic form and have been tearing my hair out
about certain sections of it!

Im on Word 2007 and have been using the €˜legacy controls in Developer to
set it up. I wanted to use the content controls as well, esp the calendar
feature, but once its all protected and complete it wont tab through nicely
as stops on the last content control and I have to click with my mouse to
carry it on.

Do legacy controls and content controls not work together? Is there any way
I can set the form up so it will tab straight through without stopping?

Thank you for reading my post. Hopefully you can answer my querie

Hi Shazza,

In Word 2007, once you tab out of a legacy formfield into a content control, further tabbing will only take you to other content
controls.
