Sorry, I didn't mean to include the pointer to the forms tutorials; the
article itself tells you what you need to know.

the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.


Thanks for the pointer. It looks like that tutorial is primarily for
forms that will be filled in on the computer.

The forms I am creating will be printed out and filled in by hand with
pen or pencil. I should have made that clear.

I do not know if this will help as I am a novice with Office but I created a table for A4 using 50 columns I was then able to merge cells for names, addesses etc and used the small boxes for numbers, spacing etc. It worked, but it was slow and I needed a few goes to get what I wanted. However it could be used, by filling in on the computer, or printing and handfilling, or both.
