Below is code that I have in a form in Word which sets the tab order when the
user preses Tab. How should this look when the tab key should move from a
text field to a dropdown and/or checkbox field and then back to a text field.
The below works great for moving between text fields, but when I get to a
dropdown, it doesn't work. Thanks.

Sub ExitText991()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Text22").Range.Fields(1).Result.Select
End Sub

Is this getting close to what I need? I have read the common link to
www.mvps.org/FAQ/TblsFldsFms/SetTabOrderContent etc.but was hoping for some
more hands on help from the community. thanks.

Sub ExitText27()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Dropdown34").Range.Fields(1).Result.Select
End Sub

Ok, this seems to work, but is it correct?

Sub ExitText27()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Dropdown34").Select
End Sub

Thanks.
