Default Form placeholder problem

Most form creators use tables with fixed column width and row height. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

I've created a form/template for my employees to use. My problem is that
when the blanks are filled out, the text next to that blank gets "pushed"
over or to the next line. For example, if a line on my form says NAME:
(fill
in the blank) DOB: (fill in the blank), when someone fills in a name in
that
blank, the DOB gets pushed off to the right or to the next line (depending
on
how long the name is). Any idea on how to keep the placeholder labels
(NAME,
DOB, AGE, etc) in place? Thanks!
