Changing the tabbing order for a group of objects

Instead of moving individual objects to their new location within the tabbing order, you can move a group of objects all at once. This method works only for the objects that are positioned in sequence in the list of objects.

If you have a selection of objects that are scattered throughout the list, you must make them sequential first and then move the group.

After you select a group of sequentially ordered objects, you move the group to a new location in the tabbing order by using the same methods you used for moving a single object.

  1. In the Tab Order palette list, click the first object in the sequence.

  2. Press Shift and click the last object in the sequence.
