How can I make a tab skip columns in a Word Table?

How can I make a tab skip columns in a Word Table? I'm making a table and
need to make my tab go from column 1 to column 3 without stopping at column
2. Is there a way to do this?

If you put formfields in the cells in Column 1 and Column 3 and then protect
the document for forms, that tab key will cause the selection to jump form
the cell in Column 1 directly to the cell in Column 3.

It would do so in a protected form if you had form fields only in columns 1
and 3.
