color from Automatic to Light Cyan.<br />

Learning how to use styles can be very helpful at times. By using styles, we changed<br />

the font color for all three headings at one time. <strong>The</strong>re are other methods of<br />

changing the font color, but they require repeating the same steps for each heading.<br />

Step 11: Change the tab order.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tab key moves the cursor from field to field. This is much easier to do than to click each field<br />

to enter data into it. It also permits us to group our expenses into areas before we begin entering<br />

data. For example, all of our meal receipts can be grouped together as can our snacks and also<br />

our fuel purchases.<br />

1) Control+click the Date field.<br />

2) Click the Form Design icon in the Form Controls toolbar to open the Form Design toolbar<br />

(Figure 208), or choose View → Toolbars → Form Design to open this toolbar.<br />

3) Click the Activation Order icon (circled).<br />
