Well, that appears to not be consistent. The form I am working on was tabbing properly a while ago, and now the tab order is not correct. I have not added/removed any fields during that time, just adjusted their size and positions. Even cutting and pasting the frames again in the order that I want them to tab does not reset the order to what I want.

Excuse my rant, but why the hell are forms in Word so extremely unusable? 2 things that are BASIC to form development are setting a tab order and creating radio button/check boxes where only 1 option can be selected.

I really need to be able to set the tab order properly, my client is demanding the form be done in Word (which I am opposed to doing) and they will not accept the tab order being so far out of whack. Is there anyone who can help me to fix this?
