Default Create a fillable form

Dawn, I am also struggling with a fillable form! Is there a way to "anchor
the fillable box" so that when I tab from cell to cell my curser is
positioned inside the fillable box and not in front of it? Currently, the
curser is just to the left of the box and as you type the shaded area is
moving within the cell...

Thanks in advance for your help,

One thing that you can do is put the picture in the Header / Footer layer of
the document and then use Word's form fields in the document layer in the
appropriate locations on the page. I would suggest that you use a table to
help you align the fields on the form.

See also http://www.mousetrax.com/TechPage.html#autoforms in particular the
series "Please fill out this form" parts 1-4. Part 5 connects the form
results to a database which you probably don't need at this point.
