You use the tab key to tab forward, and the Tab+Shift keys  together to Tab 
backwards.

Hope this helps

Re: What does the back arrow on the tab key mean?   

It represents the shifted action of the key. Shift+Tab moves the insertion 
point backward in some specific situations (such as in tables, where Tab 
takes you to the next cell and Shift+Tab to the previous cell). It can also 
be used to promote outline levels if you have this feature enabled. It does 
*not*, as you may have been told, "tab backward" in ordinary text (it can't 
behave like the Margin Release on a typewriter, for example).
