Default How to change the order of selected cells when tab is pressed

I need to be able to change the order of the selected cells when in a
table. Usually when TAB is pressed the curser moves to the adjacent
cell. Is there a way of changing the order of the selected cells when
one presses the TAB button?
Thanks

It can be done, but only with a macro. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...etTabOrder.htm for the
macro, and http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for installation
instructions.

If you want to move entire rows in a table, this can be quickly done by [Shift+Alt+UpArrow] and [Shift+Alt+DownArrow] respectively. For columns I don't know there is a keyboard shortcut, not for individual cells but you can use the mouse to drag them into position. HTH -- Henk
