How to set fill blanks in doc./use tabs to manuever w/o moving tex
Newbie
Hi, Is there a way to have permanently fixed fill-ins in a lengthy document w/ numerous fill-ins. The documents have been scanned. When I attempt to fill in the necessary information the following tabs move. Is there a process w/in Word that will permanently fix the fill-ins. Thus, providing the ability to tab to each of the following fill-ins w/o moving the entire document? There is no database involved in the fill-in information. It is all type to fill. In most cases the fill-ins are not grouped as you would find in Excel. They are spread thoughout the entire document specific to that particular paragraph. I hope that I have explained my problem with some degree of sense. EXAMPLE: This AGREEMENT made this ____ day of ________________, 2_______, by and between Twenty-Three Acres,L.L.C., (hereinafter referred to as €śDeveloper€ť), and the undersigned Purchaser, as follows: 1. Purchase Price. The Purchaser agrees to purchase, and the Developer agrees to sell, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, condominium unit number _____ of Twenty-Three Acres,L.L.C., (€śUnit€ť), commonly known as ________________________together with and undivided interest in the common elements appertaining thereto, for the total purchase price, as follows: $_____________. 2. Terms. Purchaser herewith deposits __________________ Dollars ($_________), evidencing Purchasers good faith, to be placed in escrow pursuant to paragraph 4, to I want to be able to tab from one blank to the next w/o lines and text moving. Thanks Paul |

Yes. You insert Text Form Fields; but note that you must then Protect the
document for the FFs to work, stopping the users from changing anything except the FF data they enter. The FFs are really useful because you can control the size (number of characters entered) and the type of information (Date/Text/Numbers) being entered. You can also assign bookmarked names to the FFs which may assist automatic extraction of data when the form is returned. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Paul" wrote in message ...

How to set fill blanks in doc./use tabs to manuever w/o moving
Hi Terry,
I am using Windows '07. I understand tha I must insert text form fields. However, being the slow learner and newbie, how do I do this? Step by step. Where do I find the insert text forms. I looked in the area I thought would provide space to be filled in. When I click on the instert, it comes up like a database entry. Is that what is to be entered? If so, would I be able to tab to each in the doc or must I do something else so the test outside of form doen't move? Thanks much! Paul "Terry Farrell" wrote: Yes.
