Default Properties for controls in fillable form

I am using Word 2016. In past versions of Word when I created fillable forms I was able to right click a control's Properties and set such things as tab order, the maximum number of characters that could be typed into a control field, etc. I am unable to find how to perform similar tasks in Word 2016. I am working in the Developer tab, but can't find anything I can fine tune except font colors and sizes. Help!

Word has three kinds of controls:
• formfields, which work in all Word versions and on all Word platforms;
• ActiveX controls, which only work on PCs; and
• content controls, which only work on PCs & Macs using Word 2007 & later.
To access formfields or ActiveX controls, use the 'Legacy Tools' button in the Controls group of the Developer tab on the Ribbon.
