I am using Acrobat 7.0 Professional on Windows XP, and am creating a form. The form turned out great, but I'm having trouble with the tabbing order.

I know that in Designer you can set the tabbing order using a combination of the control and shift buttons to make it easy. I also know that you can "drop" a field from the tab order by pressing control + shift, then click on the field. This is what I want to achieve in Acrobat, as some of the fields should not be tabbed to, because the information in some fields copies to other fields.

I have not been able to figure out if I can do this, with all the help menus and such. I tried opening the form in Designer, but the font was funky and the text fields were askew.

Thanks in advance for any help.

To put the fields in order in Adobe first make sure to click Select Object Tool so that all your fields are highlighted. Then click on Advanced, Forms, Fields then Set Tab Order. The fields should have numbers, click on a field and the system will renumber it, keep clicking on it until you have the number you want.
