number will show on the top left corner of a field.

• Order Tabs by Row – Order tabs from the upper-left field, moving first
from left to right and then down to the next row.
• Order Tabs by Column – Order tabs from the upper-left field, moving

the order set up in the tagging based on the document structure.
