tables what am I doing wrong with the text??
I made a whole page of tables for filling in genealogy information on a
person. MOST of the tables are working fine with the text. but for some reason I cannot TAB over to some where the text is correct. lemme try to explain: when I tab to one table to the next in some of them are 'black' boxes, (which sometimes this works ok, as I can delete the whole box to put in new information) but, most of these are in the wrong spot INSIDE the table, I want the text to start over several spaces, to get this I have to keep clicking the space bar to start it where I want. in other boxes this works ok , it starts where I want (NO black box,, only a curser bar), ALSO when I click on each individual table box it MOST DO go to where I want it, still other problems when I TAB over say I have the text set at 8 (which it says when I individually click on it, but when I TAB over to it the text is at 12! I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong & how to fix all this so each table is what I want in font size & position of text! also on some tables when I Tab over I cannot SEE the curser (when I click individually it shows up!), but it will type in correctly. arrghhhhhhhhh. to make all this more complicated I wanted little text boxes in each table that did not move like the words "name" "address" "birthdate" etc. I could only figure out I had to put individual text boxes in each table & send it BEHIND the table so it wouldn't be affected by what I typed IN each box, this seems to work OK, but there has to be an easier way, I could not find where you could 'lock' in a text block (or something like that) so it would stay... did I miss something? please help. its driving me nuts to keep changing all this each time I type in!. |
