Default How do I change the flow from field to field in a form document?

I created a form which includes fields in a table in columns. The problem I
am having is that I want the flow from field to field to go up and down on
some of the columns and not from left to right. How can I change it?

YOu cau use a macro that goes to a certain bookmark on exit. for
example, if you ahve Row1, and Row2 as your bookmarked fields going
down. YOu could write a Marco that says OnExit from Row1 go to Row2.

Sub JumpToRow()
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Row2"
EndSub

and then in the properties of your form field set the OnExit Marco to
JumpToRow. YOu would need to do this for every row you have to act this
way.
