Tab Order when Word Table Rows are hidden

[Worsty]

I have created a Word Form with 4 tables in which based upon certain
values selected rows are hidden. In my testing I noticed that when I
tab from one field to another that the tabbing appears to be going
through ALL of the hidden form fields before finally arriving at the
unhidden form field.

Is there any way to control the tabbing when you have rows hidden in a
table?

Thanks in advance.

If you are going to use Tab, no. It will tab through the formfields,
regardless of whether they are hidden text, or not.

To avoid that , when you hide the fields make them un-enabled and reenable
when they are displayed.
With ActiveDocument
If .ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
With .FormFields("Text1")
If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Dropdown1").Result = 1 Then
.Result = ""
.Range.Font.Hidden = True
.Enabled = False
Else
.Range.Font.Hidden = False
.Enabled = True
End If
End With
.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, _
NoReset:=True, _
Password:=""
End With
