Filling in a Form developed in Word
Hi,
I am working on a form developed by someone else and for the most part it works the way it's supposed to however there are several areas where the form asks for written comments. Typing in the comments works fine but the people this form is going to already have these comments in electronic form and it would make more sense to simply copy and paste into the table cell in the form. That works too BUT the left hand side of the pasted copy is cut off and the formatting is lost. I've tried rearranging tabs, margins, etc. in the form but to no avail. Any ideas? I've tried it protected and unprotected. I'm working with Word 2003 but I believe the form was created on an earlier version of Word. |

Filling in a Form developed in Word
Hi ?B?SmFkZWxpZ2h0?=,
I am working on a form developed by someone else and for the most part it works the way it's supposed to however there are several areas where the form asks for written comments. Typing in the comments works fine but the people this form is going to already have these comments in electronic form and it would make more sense to simply copy and paste into the table cell in the form. That works too BUT the left hand side of the pasted copy is cut off and the formatting is lost. I've tried rearranging tabs, margins, etc. in the form but to no avail. Any ideas? I've tried it protected and unprotected. I'm working with Word 2003 but I believe the form was created on an earlier version of Word. What kind of formatting is being lost? What application is the text being copied from? When you check the pasted result that's being cut off: any chance that the left indent has been set to a negative position in relation to the cell?
