Hi, I'm trying to create a word form that has text fields with a set
maximum length that don't change the formatting of the rest of the
form. I hope to have a text field, followed by a few check boxes,
but even when I lock the form, entering text into the text field
shifts the check boxes. Any thoughts? Please!!

Create a table. Select Table AutoFit Fixed Column Width so the cells
won't expand sideways. Put each form field in a separate cell of the table.
