Is there any tool that makes the cursor to jump vertically from cell to cell?

You can order it in any way you like.

To do what you described will require a script, though.

You can use this code as the field's custom KeyStroke event to achieve it:

if (AFMergeChange(event).length==1) this.getField("NextFieldName").setFocus();

Due to a bug in Acrobat the code will probably "disappear" when you enter it, but it should still work.

You will have to adjust the name of the field to your actual field names, of course.

Yes, it's possible.

You can order tabs by column, or order them manually.

Thank You.
But then it doesn't go horizontally.
Actually, I want to post a crossword online and the solvers to have ability to jump horizontally and vertically.

Or, is it possible the cursor to jump to next cell, after the letter is written in the cell?
To do that, i guess it should be some previous command which will orient the cursor, while it will will move right or down.

OK, I know that it's not possible yet.
I just want to add as a proposal.
