Tab stop design question

Hello all,

Picture a bunch of text edits with the user tabbing between them.  One
is multi-line.  The user tabs to it, Windows selects the text, and the
next tab overwrites the text - ouch!

Are there any standard ways around it?  Expecting the user to press
control-tab won't cut it; the damage is done by that point.  Undo might
help, but only if they realize they did it :(

Have a good one,

Bill
