MS Office Forum / Word / Tables / June 2005How to skip cell(s) in table while using tab?
Is there any way in to jump to non-adjacent cell in a table while using the "tab" key? Thanks in advance and highly appreciate help. > Is there any way in to jump to non-adjacent cell in a table while > using the "tab" key? > Thanks in advance and highly appreciate help. In general, no. If you're thinking about a protected form, with the fields in a table, then yes, the tab key jumps to the next field which may be in a non-adjacent cell. If you want it to jump to some field other than the next (left-to-right, then down a row), it's doable but it takes a macro. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/SetTabOrder.htm.  SignatureRegards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org And if you're not talking about a protected form, you might write your own macros for NextCell (= the built-in command that runs when you hit the Tab key in a table) and/or PrevCell (Shift+Tab). You could make those macros skip certain cells (or columns), even depending on the content or formatting or (Word 2003) protection of the cells.
