Default text form field and spaces

Rags: Thanks for saying that. I'll be sure to emphasize it. I've also
created an extreme fill-in form tutorial last night:

What Anne says is the only way that I have found to do this as well. One
point of emphasis is that you put the text form field in the cell. You
are
not just using the cell itself. I think Anne is saying that but I had a
problem understanding that the first time it was explained to me and
wanted
to emphasize that point in case you miss it.

Hello,

I have a text form field in a word document (not online form), and part
of
the form has 3 text form fields on the same line. When I type into the
first
text form field, it causes the form text to move.

example:
phone number:[1 ] work phone number: [2 ]

where [ ] = text form field

typeing into text form field 1 causes "work phone number: [2 ] to shift
that
many spaces towards the right.

How can I stop this shifting from occuring?

I did try entering a single field table, but that has caused the space
below
the single field to be unusable on my form. It is almost as if it has
inserted a 2 field table.

If anyone can give help on either of these issues it would be great.

thank you,

phillip
