Word form fixed length text field that doesn't change formatting?
Hi, I'm trying to create a word form that has text fields with a set maximum
length that don't change the formatting of the rest of the form. I hope to have a text field, followed by a few check boxes, but even when I lock the form, entering text into the text field shifts the check boxes. Any thoughts? Please!! |

Word form fixed length text field that doesn't change formatting?
Have you tried using a Table, turn off option to Automatically Resize?

Select Table AutoFit Fixed Column Width so the cells won't expand sideways. Put each form field in a separate cell of the table. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Thanks Taz,
I haven't tried yet, but I'm getting the impression from my research that tables may be needed. Thanks for confirming that impression!
