entering data into a field is moving the whole document to the rig
I have a word document that is a form for others to complete. If I type too
many characters into a field it starts to move the whole document off the screen to the right (I have tried setting the length which works on short fields but if it is a field where they might type a few lines of text it moves to the right and not necessarily to the next line in the cell) Any ideas how to fix it? thanks, Anne |

Create a table (turn off its borders if desired) and click Table AutoFit
Fixed Column Width. Put each form field in a separate cell of the table. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. anne wrote: I have a word document that is a form for others to complete.

Hi Jay, thanks so much that was the answer. You know even in the word
template I tried it moves off the side of the page, so that was no help. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Create a table (turn off its borders if desired) and click Table AutoFit Fixed Column Width.
