    Rkaiser108 Tabbing moves the selection from one Formfield to the next in that document when it is open in Word in Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise Version 2306 (Build 16259.20182 Click-to-Run) Current Channel.

     

    When you open the document in Word do you see the App Launcher - the nine dots enclosed by a red border at the top left of the following screen shot?

     

     

    If you do see those dots, it indicates that you are opening the document in the On-line version of Word.  It needs to be opened in the desktop application for the FormFields in the document to work as intended.
