How do I limit form fields so they don't pass the form margins.
I created a form and added form fields. When I lock the document and type in
the fields, the margins are pushed, even though it should be locked. How can I have it return when it reaches the edge and begin a new line? Thanks! Cindy |

It shouldn't extend beyond the margin unless you have negative indents,
Cindy. Double-check that. Just click in each margin that seems to be "extending" and hit Format--Paragraph. Make sure your left and right indents are NOT negative numbers. In other words, if you're right indent was -2", that means you can type 2" beyond the right-hand margin, which shouldn't be allowed. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Cindy" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Anne! I did have a negative margin. I corrected that, but it still pushes the outside border of the table off the page if I keep typing without manually using a carriage return. I had hoped it would automatically go to the next line. If I delete what I typed, it moves the border back into the correct place. What was interesting is that it keeps extending the border as long as I type, but if I start deleting the text, the border moves back to the correct position and stops. It does not continue to move and shrink to the left! Cindy "Anne Troy" wrote: It shouldn't extend beyond the margin unless you have negative indents, Cindy. Double-check that.

This suggests that you have "Auto fit to contents" enabled.
