Field Names |
The largest part of the body of the form is for the names of the individual fields on the form. If a row is a gray color, like Prospect Entry above, this is not a field on the form, but the heading on a tab. There is no tab setting for these tabs. All the field names between two gray rows (or above gray rows) are in a group that cannot be changed when setting tab order. The tab order can be changed only within a group. |

The up and down buttons at the bottom of the form are used for changing the order of the tab stops within a group of fields. If you wish to move a field to a higher place in the tab order of a group, select that field, then click the up button. The field will move up one position. Clicking the button will continue to move the field up in the tab order. The field may likewise be moved down in the tab order by clicking the down button as many times as places you wish to move it down. |
