I have a document that i made in word format. it is a template for people to fill out the needed fields and then print. The question i have is if it is possible to make the tab key only take you to the fields i want you to fill out.

Much of the page is just info that must be printed on the sheet but not filled out by the person using it and currently when you hit tab it stops you at every column many of which are not needed.

Any help would be appreciated.

p.s. If this does not make much sence and you are willing to help i can e-mail you the document so you can see what i mean

You need to make this template into an on-line form. Insert form fields from
the forms toolbar then lock the form. Tab will then take you from one field
to the next.

ok figured that out and appreciate the help so far. Next question i run into is if i have a field where it requires a date is it possible to pop up a calendar in a little box if they click on it so they can select the date while viewing a calendar?
