Default Tab Between Fillable Fields


So I am trying to create a document where you can press "Tab" to go between various fields easily and enter in the necessary information.

So far I have created all of the fields and entered in information successfully, but the part I am having trouble with is being able to press "Tab" to move to the next field and not just have it continue affecting the current field.

I hope this is a good enough explanation, please let me know if you need anymore and any help would be appreciated!

Default Make sure the field is a plain text context control

A rich text content control (first Aa selection) will accept the tab as a character. If you delete the control and add it as a plain text context control (second Aa selection), then when the user hits tab, it will tab to the next fillable field.

Thanks! I've been looking for months to this solution!
