I created a form using the form function. In this form I created drop down
boxes. Some of the words in the drop-down boxes are longer than other words.
When a long word is choosen, it pushes the next drop-down box over, sometime
even returning it to the next line. I cannot lock the form like I want to.
What should I do. I want a completly locked form- hard coated. Can you help?

Make a table, and put each form field in a separate cell. On the Table
menu, click AutoFit Fixed Column Width. If you don't want the table
borders to be visible, go to Format Borders & Shading and set their
color to white.
