Default View Form from 2007

When that document is viewed in Word 2007, there is a text box that contains
the text part of section VI, overlaying and obscuring part of section V. The
text box has a red dashed-line outline.

It isn't visible in Word 2003, possibly because it's outside the page area.
Using a macro in Word 2003, I can determine that the text box is present,
but I can't find out anything else about it because the form is locked with
a password. Using Insert File in a blank document to bring in the form, I
can then see the text box and delete it; but the margins and some other
settings are now wrong.

If you have full access to the original form document, unlock it and delete
the text box. The result should work perfectly in both versions of Word.

Our problem is that we do not have Office 2007 in our organization.
Our clients who are using Office 2007 cannot properly see and
complete our Word forms on the web. I am not able to remote in to
anyone to actually see what they see to provide a better description.

Can you give a more precise description of "all skewed"?

User has Word 2003 SP3

He has a form loaded on the web the public completes and returns.
The problem is the form is all skewed when it is viewed from Word
2007. Changing Views in 2007 makes some difference, but it is not
acceptable. We
don't know what to tell the public to do to use our forms. Help!
TIA...
