07 Form in 03 - spacing
I created a form in 07 and used the legacy forms tools so it will work in
older versions of Word - the form has a few drop downs, a couple X boxes and mostly fill in spaces. I protect it and open on an older computer with Word 03 - the drop downs and X boxes work fine, but the fill in areas (text form fields) are HUGE - not the font, but the actual grey area - the font/words are normal size when I type something in the area, but the grey area stays huge. If I unprotect the form in 03, the grey areas are still huge, but when I enter words, the grey area goes away and the spacing returns to normal for that text form field, which is good, but then the X boxes and drop downs do not work at all. What am I missing/doing wrong, please? |

07 Form in 03 - spacing
Make sure that you have the same printer driver installed for the older
computer; that way, the formatting should be the same. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ERG" wrote in message ...
