If you are not the designer of the form, then just fill it in and let the
formatting go as haywire as it will; you are not responsible. If you are
trying to design such a form, use tables with fixed cell dimensions.
Sometimes when I get poorly designed forms, I redo them so that they work,
but I've never yet gotten any thanks for it (or any indication that the
person who sent the form even noticed).

a table cell with fixed dimensions. On the other hand, I believe most
people
would stop typing when they realize that the text disappears from view.

I have created a table that is being used as a makeshift form.
I have set the table height to be exactly 1" and the width to 100%.
However, I want the cell so that if you keep typing to the end of the
cell,
that the text doesn't spill over. Right now it does, even though you
cannot
see it I know it's there cause i can see the curser below.
Please let me know what setting I need to put on so that it stops input
when
you get to the bottom edge of the cell.
