Is there any way in to jump to non-adjacent cell in a table while using the
"tab" key?
Thanks in advance and highly appreciate help.

In general, no.
If you're thinking about a protected form, with the fields in a table, then
yes, the tab key jumps to the next field which may be in a non-adjacent
cell. If you want it to jump to some field other than the next
(left-to-right, then down a row),
it's doable but it takes a macro. See

And if you're not talking about a protected form, you might write your own macros for NextCell (= the built-in command that runs when you hit the Tab key in a table) and/or PrevCell (Shift+Tab).
You could make those macros skip certain cells (or columns), even depending on the content or formatting or (Word 2003) protection of the cells.
