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

Yes, it's possible.

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

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.

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

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.

This is the file.
Text boxes are formated already. The only thing what I need is solvers to be more comfortable while solving. 
I am a puzzlemaker as well, and all my posts are for non-profit.

So that it's easier to use and the code doesn't disappear I've created a doc-level function with the code I provided, which takes the next of the next field as the input parameter. I've applied the code to the top-left field in your file, so you could see how to use it.

See attached.

Yes, it works. Thank You. I applied to other cells to, and it worked.
There are more things to do, but I will not bother you now.
I will go on working and if I have more questions I will ask here.
