Default How do I freeze text in a Word doc which has already been created?

A previous response to another individual did not help. I created a form in
which I want to be able to add data without it pushing other information to
the right when it's entered. When I access Insert-Fields on the menu bar I
get the following window of information: A box for Categories and (All) is
selected. Below it a list of Field Names and I selected MacroButton. To the
right is a box which says 'Display Text' and it is blank. Below it another
box which is labeled 'Macro Name' and its list starts with
'AcceptAllChangesInDoc'. From here I am unsure of the next steps. I tried
typing in information in Field Names and, when pressing the OK button, it
deposits the information into my already completed form. Any and all help
would be appreciated. Please don't suggest using Excel because I haven't had
the time to figure it out yet. Thanks.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. Put your fields
in fixed-size table cells or frames.

Hope this helps,
