I've set up an extensive table as a template for my employees to use when
filling out a form.

Each time I press the tab key, I want the cursor to advance to the next,
predetermined cell where an input is required and not to a cell which does
not require any input.

Can anyone assist?

What you are describing is a protected form, which requires form fields. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
