I would strongly suggest that you do not use vbcontrols in a Word document.
Use either a UserForm or formfields in a protected document. In both of
those cases, you can use the tab key to move from one control to the next
and in the case of a UserForm, you can set the tab order.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:
