I have been trying to create online forms with fields for entering data for
my department. These forms toggle between print and online input but they
will also need to be created with enough spacing to fill in manually. When an
employee uses the online input and uses the ENTER key instead of the TAB key
the pages shift down or the next field might jump to another line if there is
lengthy verbiage.

Is there anyway to keep the user from using ENTER or lock the structure of
the form so that nothing can move.
Please inform

If the formfields are inserted into the cells of a table with fixed cell
dimensions, you can prevent the enter key (or the insertion of an excessive
amount of data) from altering the layout.

Alternatively, see the Knowledge Base article:
