I am designing a form of several pages that has diagrams and text fields in
certain positions. There is a text field at the bottom of a page. This text
field could be 1 line or it could end up being 8 lines (depending how much
info the user wants to enter). When I view the blank form, everything is in
the right position, but once I test the form by entering text into the text
field, each line I enter moves the items on the next page down. This
behaviour is no good... because it is pushing my form all out of position!!
Is there some kind of break that I can insert so that no matter how much text
is entered, the items on the next page remain in position?

Text reflows according to the amount of it there is on a page. If there is
too much for the space available, it will push what follows down to the next
page. Put your text fields in (unbordered) table cells with fixed dimensions
and then if too much text is entered it simply 'disappears'.
