"Lock" position of text in document
I have a form designed in Word 2003 that is three pages long. The form
itself is built using tables for positioning. Between some of the tables I have text that I need to "lock" into a position. For example, if a form item input were to exceed one line it automatically goes onto a second line BUT forces the rest of the document down a line. Is there anyway to force the position of text to stay in a specific position? Thanks! |

Set the row height to an "Exact" measurement in Table Table Properties Row. Put the form field in a cell of the table. Users will still be able to type more than one line in the field, but the excess will "disappear". -- 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. |
