Creating Forms in Word
How do you change the visible form field size to match that of the text form
field maximum length. In other words the shaded form field needs to match the size of the text form field, and not shift other text when an entry is made. |

Creating Forms in Word

you can put it in a table cell the desired size, with a bottom border if desired. -- Suzanne S.

Creating Forms in Word
You can put in the number of non-breaking spaces that you have allowed for
form length as your default text. Ctrl-Shift-Spacebar. What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." 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.
