Creating Forms
Hello All ~
I'm just wondering if someone can tell me how to set a document I've created so that people can fill in blank spaces in a table but are not able to type beyond the space I've set as the maximum space alloted to that cell. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I've created a template that must not exceed two pages in length. I want people to be able to fill in the cells that I've left blank, but don't want them to be able to go beyond the space I've alloted for each cell. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, J. |

Makes perfect sense. Create a form using tables. Then set the table rows'
height to EXACTLY the size you don't want to exceed. You only need to do this on rows that contain areas in which the user will type. If they continue to type, the text becomes hidden down below the table cell. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Jacqula" wrote in message ...
