Form Page - Tab Order

Using Publisher 2003, I had this problem too, then I
tried...sending the form controls to the "Front"
or "Back" using "ORDER". Right-click on a control.. then
select "Order" and send it to the front or back.

If you start with the control at the top of your page,
and "Bring it to the Front", then go to the next one,
bring that one to the front, by the time you reach the
last control at the bottom of the page, the last control
will be in front, and the first control at the top will
be in the back.

When you publish the page, you should be able to tab
through them from the top control, all the way to the
bottom one.

The Order functionality is for layering page objects such as in designing a
graphic. If others try this on form controls I'd be interested in your
posting the results here as I'd be curious to know if this behavior is
consistent.
