[hrmortcia]

Hi Bob,

I am trying to create a form we can fill out digitally in our office. We
want the check box functionality, which requires locking the form to editing
(as far as I can tell, I am new to forms), as well as the ability to enter
text into several fields. The form is a letter we send out to faculty and
requires that we enter the instructor's name, student's name, class name and
class ID number as well as selecting items from a list that may or may not
apply to each student (thus the checkboxes).

Is there a way to have checkboxes and the rich text formatting?

Thank you!

Hi hrmortcia,

What effect are you trying to achieve with that field and how will it be used?

The web (ActiveX) Textbox control itself is inline with text, the text within the control is affected by several factors including
the height of the box (adjustable by using points in the height (i.e. type 11pt), the 'shadow effect' of the box and the top
margin, both of which you can modify through the property dialog on the developer tab for that control, but that will in turn affect
the font size used in the box.

You may want to try, instead the Word 2007 Rich Text content control

I am talking about the text box you insert using the ActiveX controls under
the Developer tabcontrols panel.

As I stated above, although the properties say that it is "in line with
text" the text you enter into the box appears about 1/2 of a line above the
other text.

I have tried everything I can think of and cannot get the text to line up.
If I change the boxes' text wrapping properties they won't stay in the
correct spot.
