Default Hard Returns MS Word Template Form

Restrict the amount of space available by inserting the field in a
(borderless) table cell of fixed dimensions. It won't stop the users
pressing the enter key, but if they do the extra lines will not be visible.

I'm using MS XP and Word97. How do I stop anyone from entering a
hard return in my form? For example: If I have the following in the
form (example),

Last Name: text form field First Name: text form field

If the curser is in the text form field and I press "Enter" the
entire line from the right of that will drop down to the next line.

Last Name: text form field First Name: text form field

text form field First Name: text form field

Also, if the text form field is let's say 10 characters. As I type
in the text form field for the entire 10 characters, the next field
to the right starts moving to the right.

Example: Last Name: text form field First Name: text form
field

If I start typing in last name, the first name fiels starts moving to
the right by the number of characters I typed into the last name
field.

Last Name: aaaaaaaaaa First Name:
text form field

Thanks.\John
