How do I create a template that allows users to tab to different fields?
I've tried the {MACROBUTTON NoMacro [click here]} and this doesn't allow for
tabbing. Does anyone have a clue of how to do this? Thanks in advance!!!
 
You can use F11 to advance from one MACROBUTTON field to another. To use
Tab, you must create a protected form. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

I want to be able to tab to the different fields but without tables and if I
create a section break, it goes on continuously without allowing for the rest
of the fields. Any ideas?
 
It sounds as if you have MacroButton fields. You can skip from one to
another using F11, but if you want fields you can Tab to, you need to insert
actual form fields. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
