Hi
I'm trying to create a template where the user just has to enter details
into fields, I have managed to do most of it and created the fields by using
the developer tab and creating text form fields and drop down form fields,
but what I would really like to do is just click on the first field and tab
between the rest, however when I try to do do this the cursor just moves
along the same line.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Bryan

After you create the fields but before you start filling them, you have to
click the Protect Document button (also on the Developer ribbon) and choose
protection for forms. That "turns on" the fields and lets you tab among
them.
