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. |

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