How can I travel between form fields in a designated order?

[Guest]

I'm trying to create a form in a table so my users can't mess up the page
format if they have long answers. However, I can't get the cursor to jump
between fields in the order I want it to. How can I set this up? Does
having it in a table make it more or less difficult?

Also, is there a way to set up a form field so the users can insert a photo
without messing up the formatting?

Thanks!

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm.

You will find links on setting tab order.

Hope this helps,
