The one way I was able to do it was to create a duplicate slide and have the "jump to navigation" button secretly switch to the duplicate slide. On the duplicate slide, I was able to make a custom tab setting so that only the item 5 and further, would be tabbed. I deleted all other tab options.
You cannot do it (custom tabs) with Layers because what is set for custom tabs on the main slide gets echoed on the layers.
Another issue that popped up was that all previous items (if they are data entry fields)don't automatically get copied to the new page, so I had to set the variable of the duplicate to the value of the main when I click on the navigate button. and if going back to "regular" tabbing, I had to set the main variables to the duplicate values, when clicking on the "put tab back in normal order" button.
There has to be an easier way. Someone will post a clever, but simple "why didn't I think of that?" solution in here. lol.
