Form Fill-In Field

CMcWilliams · External Since: Nov 04, 2009 Posts: 1

I have created a form in Word 2007. It contains some text form fields from
under the Legacy Forms, some check box forms and some Rich Text Form Fill-In
Fields. I can tab through all the fields until I get to the Rich Text Form
Fill-In field and then when I try to tab to the next Rich Text Form Fill-In
field, instead of it tabbing, it just adds an actual tab in the Form fill-in
field itself. How do I get it to tab to the next fill-in field?

There's no way to do that. You'll have to use the down arrow key or
the mouse.

Or better still don't mix the field types (one of which requires the form to
be protected) in the same document.
